Baseball

In 1965 the Minnesota Twins lost the 7th game of the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-0 at home.

I was 9 years old. It sucked.

In 1982 the Minnesota Twins lost 102 games. The nucleus from this team - players like Frank Viola, Kent Hrbek, Tom Brunansky & Gary Gaetti - went on to win the
1987 World Series - with, of course, the now immortal Kirby Puckett.
