Is it the Brass or the Athletics? I think the stars play the Athletics.
Misprint. Corrected.
Wow – I guess the USOC organizers were dazzled by Minnesota’s teeming crowd of 746 people the other day. Hard to say no to that kind of enthusiasm.
That’s too bad. St. Louis fans or Des Moines would’ve probably liked to host. But with the mess St. Louis is currently in, I’m sure they didn’t bid. Who knows about Des Moines.
