@pjthereuss.bsky.social Great column. My mom is from Zumbrota and my dad is from Hackensack. Never would have thought one of those towns would make it in a column, must less two. Thanks.

@pjthereuss.bsky.social Jeff Bittiger died a couple of weeks ago.

@pjthereuss.bsky.social Hosken Powell died.

@pjthereuss.bsky.social Just finished an article on Bill Campbell. Never realized he served a year in Viet Nam in the late 60's. The Twins lost him over $2,500. He wanted $30k and Calvin offered $27.5. Didn't realize the gap was that small.

@pjthereuss.bsky.social This would be a bad loss.

@pjthereuss.bsky.social Maryland guy traveled on last shot. Took 3 full steps.

@pjthereuss.bsky.social I'm reading a preview of the 1968 Twin Cities football championship between Roosevelt and Central and there's a reference to a Roosevelt back-up, Jim Janos. He was 6'2, 195 pounds. The article didn't say whether he had a boa and feather in his helmet.

@pjthereuss.bsky.social Do you know the source of Jimmie Hall's anger towards the Twins? Have you interviewed him, or tried to?

@pjthereuss.bsky.social John Feinstein died today.
