In 2001, Chuck Knoblauch returned to the Metrodome during his fourth season since being traded to the New York Yankees. Knoblauch often had dealt with a lot of hate from Minnesota Twins fans ever since he requested to be traded in 1998.
Minnesota Fans are a very loyal bunch, and if a player shows that same loyalty, Twins fans will
hold them in high esteem forever (Harmon Killebrew, Kirby Puckett, Kent Hrbek, and Joe Mauer are great examples). Chuck Knoblauch was supposed to be next in the line of those players.
