1. The Twins won a playoff game Tuesday for the first time since Oct. 5, 2004. The 19-year drought included an 18-game losing streak that was snapped with Minnesota’s 3–1 victory against the Blue Jays in Game 1 of the wild-card round.
As you would expect, Twins fans were more than ready to celebrate a postseason victory. And celebrate they did. When Minnesota's Fox 9 newscast threw to reporter Jim Rich on the scene at Target Field after the game, we were treated to a classic local news moment as ecstatic fans bombarded Rich.
This was not your typical “fans scream into camera” moment, though. There were layers. The first dude was basically delirious. Then Rich tried to bond with a fan walking by, but it turned out he wasn’t a Twins fan. And then things really went haywire when a group of fans surrounded Rich, jumped up and down, screamed into the mic, danced and threw a stray at the Yankees, who aren’t even in the playoffs.
