Just one week left in the mentoring series. Time flies I guess.
Tuesday was a special night. For the first (and maybe only) time in my lifetime, the Twins were the first team in Major League Baseball to win their division. As a Twins fan I’ve often been left to cheering for the underdog who was lucky to make the playoffs. Even without their 2nd best player, it has been a special year.
