Rays 7; Twins 3



We called the balls and strikes
Seated in their usual blue collar section at Target Field, Kathleen and Stan have often looked over and wondered just what kind of people sit up in that exclusive Legends club area, high over the home plate action. Today they found out as guests of Bud and Paula, their neighbors with access to some fine cushioned seats just below Bert and Dick in the press box.
They all had a great time, despite the Twins refusal to accept victory from three golden offerings. The Twins eventually lost in the 10th, allowing the Tampa Bay Rays to complete a 3-game sweep.
It was a perfect day for baseball, they thought, temperatures in the 60s, overcast and the sprinkles held off until the last inning --- and then nobody cared anymore.
