Saturday marks 20 years since the events of September 11, 2001. Due to what happened, Major League Baseball decided to suspend games for several days as we grieved and remembered those who lost their lives on that terrible day. Baseball, the Twins, and sports in general indeed took a back seat to what was much more important.
When play was set to resume, the Minnesota Twins were at home taking on the Detroit Tigers on September 18. The 2001 season was providing a lot of reason for Twins fans to be optimistic, in manager Tom Kelly’s final season, as they were winning again after eight straight losing seasons.
