I MINNESOTA TWINS 1987 WORLD CHAMPS It's Minnesota Magic time. Were gonna win Twins, were gonna score . . . This familiar tune rang out around the state as our own Minnesota Twins, against all beliefs, defeated the odds and took home the World Series pennant. We re all proud of you; from the big city of St. Paul all the way to its suburb Forest Lake. Never was there quite the spirit that this town displayed during the seven games of the World Series .

3 Do you remember the Berenguer Boogie ? The FL Band will never forget it. They had the honor of preforming at the Minnesota Twins welcome home rally after the Twins defeated the Detriot Tigers in the American League Championship Series. The Metrodome was filled with over fifty-five thousand adoring fans that filled the air with screams when the Twins marched around the field. Band members came back to school with a night they'll never forget! Comments the next day were, It was the best time I ever had!” Seeing was believing! I touched Kirby Puckett's Hat! My ears were still ringing in first hour. The Twin Cities came to life when the Twins clinched the Western Division Title one September 28. They won the series in five exciting games. Then we were off to the WORLD SERIES ! Minnesota had not been in the World Series since 1965. The first two games were played here at home, in the dome that soon would be know to the world as the THUNDER DOME . The stands came alive with the waving of Homer Hankies and cheering fans. Dan Gladden’s Grand Slam shot the noise level to that greater then a jet. The three games played in St Louis were won by the Cardinals, but that didn't dampen our spirts! St. Louis still had to come back to our dome, the place of the Twins unsurpassed home field record, and the Minnesota fans! In the 6th game Hrbek helps seal the victory with the second Grand Slam of the series. Slogans such as, Nobody's Better Undercover! , Cut the Cards , and Frankie Sweet Music Viola hung from ledges of the upper deck. Lights in the IDS windows displayed the saying WIN TWINS , and there was even a sign flying from the Cathedral, Allelulia Twins! The 7th and deciding game belonged to the Twins. They won it 3-2, beating all the odds. The celebrating continued long after that final out. The streets of the Cities were over run by celebrating Minnesotians cheering for THEIR team, who, for the first time had brought the World Series Pennant to us. The next day there was a ticker tape parade through downtown Minneapolis and ended at the State Capital. Most schools, including Forest Lake, were given half days to attend the festivities. An estimated 4,000,000 Minnesotians participated in this celebration. Anyone who lived in Minnesota during the 1987 World Senes and its aftermath will never forget the pandimonia! 9
