Coming Home to Roost
Minnesota state legislatures are playing hardball with the Twins. They say that a strike may put the kibosh on a new stadium plan. Yesterday Roger Moe, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate, who had been supportive of past stadium bills as the Senate majority leader sent a letter to MLB, the Twins, and the players threatened to pull his support should there be a strike:
If I am elected governor of Minnesota, I simply will not allow Minnesota to become partners with people whose greed is so uncontrollable and so far removed from the financial difficulties that most Minnesotans face.
It's great to see a city using baseball's extortionate tactics against them for once.
