The "magical" 1987 Minnesota Twins (with Jon Lawrence)

Do you believe in magic? The “magic” theme of the 1987 Minnesota Twins season stemmed from their improbable yet surprising World Series victory. Prior to the 1987 season, there was a betting board in Las Vegas with odds at 100 to 1 against the Twins winning the championship. Against the odds, though, the Twins did win it all that season, making their success feel almost magical.

In this episode, podcast host Bob Edholm gets together again with Jon Lawrence, his friend from Northeast Minneapolis, to discuss the Twins’ “magical” season and share some of their own special memories of that 1987 Twins team.
