MINNEAPOLIS — Emboldened by his lineup’s ability to hit more home runs than any other team in baseball history, Dave St. Peter figured it was time for the Twins to finally knock off the Yankees in October.
St. Peter, the Twins’ president and CEO, popped off before the Yankees-Twins ALDS opener and looks very foolish two games into the best-of-five affair that switches from The Bronx, where the Yankees won twice, to Target Field for Game 3 on Monday night.
“Organizationally, I just say it’s time to slay the dragon, right?” St. Peter said.
Instead his Twins are nine innings away from having the dragon’s breath accompanying “Taps” for an organization the Yankees simply have to show up to pummel.
