NEW ULM, Minn. — This occupation for beyond a half-century has allowed me to be in an inner sanctum once in a considerable while.
I've long felt No. 1 on the list was being in a corner of Tom Kelly's Metrodome office early in the morning of Oct. 28, 1991, well after the champagne-spraying had ended, and various Twins came in to give the manager a firm handshake, or even a bearhug, over a second World Series title in five seasons.
That moment now has serious competition.
