For Minnesota Twins, there’s no place like Dome

History on Minnesota’s side as Tigers head to Dome for Game 163

It may last just one more game, but historians caution that you shouldn’t rule out another month.

“The place doesn’t want to go away quietly yet,” said Jason Kubel , whose two three-run home runs sent the Minnesota Twins into a one-game playoff against the Tigers for the American League Central title.

He was speaking of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. It will be the site of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. game, after Brett Favre and the Vikings face the Packers there on Monday night. If the Twins can get their 87th win — yes, Ozzie Guillen, that’s all it would have taken to defend the Central title — they’ll get a chance to slay the Yankees, the unquestioned No. 1 seed in baseball’s October tournament.

On paper, there’s no way the Twins or the Tigers can match up to the 103-win Yankees. But you know Joe Girardi and the Yankees will be rooting for the Tigers on Tuesday, and not just because the Tigers failed to protect a seven-game lead with 26 games to play. No visiting team ever wants to play high-stakes games in the white bubble that has been the Twins’ home since 1982.
