During a casual stroll through my old collection of dusty compact discs the other day, I came across an old Minnesota favorite. Slip Twister’s “Dog Food”, was a disc I purchased after seeing the band perform at a local watering hole in St. Cloud, MN. On the disc, the band recounts their memories of Metropolitan Stadium with their song, “Mall of America”.
Twins fans today have been reintroduced to life outdoors, but the days of two flavors of soda, cigar smoke, and Killebrew home runs are long gone. I do not claim to have special insight into the meaning behind the lyrics, and am too young to have fond personal memories of the Twins’ first run at outdoor baseball, but the song does help understand many a Minnesotan’s sentiment and nostalgia for the way things “were”.
Depending on how you look at it, the song can be very depressing, as the protagonist is unpleasantly surprised upon encountering a mall on what used to be sacred ground for he and his friends’ regular rituals. If you’re not into baseball, and like to shop, you could probably care less. However, if you’re old enough to remember Kraco’s popularity, Hibachi’s ancestory, and Old Milwaukee being flavorful, you might shed a tear for this song. Enough talk, hear it for yourself.
The band experienced a brief brush with national fame when their guitarist toured with “Kid” Johnny Lang in 1997. Since then, the band has fed off their Minnesotan popularity, and continued to gig at many of Northern Minnesota’s best juke joints. Surely there are more, but this is my personal favorite song about the Twins. What does the song mean to you? What are your favorite “Twins” or “Minnesota” songs? What do you remember most about the good old days of outdoor baseball in Minnesota?
After much work, and many late nights of sifting through new checklists, the TwinsCards.com checklists, which initially featured only Twins Cards, are nearly completely incorporated into complete MLB checklists. There are roughly 150 remaining sets which were entered by hand by the original TwinsCards.com staff.
Many of the remaining checklists are from subsets, and some are so oddball that they may not exist in checklisted form. If you see a set in this list for which you may have a checklist, please do not hesitate to email a spreadsheet to info@baseballcarddatabase.com . Suggested columns for each checklist are…
