History repeated itself again on Monday night as the Twins drafted Matt Wallner as the 39th pick of the MLB Draft.
As the story goes three years ago, Wallner just a senior in high school out of Forest Lake, Minnesota, just 25 minutes away from Minneapolis, received tickets to a Twins game one weekend. The same day the Twins had drafted Wallner in the 32nd round of the 2016 draft.
Three years later, the Twins selected Wallner as the 39th overall pick of the 2019 draft.
“It’s definitely been a dream of mine growing up as a kid,” Wallner said.
