Hi everyone, I checked with the mods before coming here- I read this today and wanted to post it here in solidarity, it is about Twinsfest…but not really. The closing paragraph really hit me too:
"Yearning for safety and comfort, we try not to stare danger and discomfort in the face until it’s absolutely necessary. It is absolutely necessary now. If you’re reading this, baseball is probably your favorite way to keep the world on one side of a window and yourself on the other side. You can stay on this side of the window; you can keep enjoying baseball. But the window is in a million pieces on the floor, and you have to let in the sights, sounds, and smells of what just broke through it. Neither baseball nor any other distraction will keep you above the fray."
Take care everyone, with love from Milwaukee

Matthew is a wonderful writer. Thank you for sharing this. NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF!
Milwaukee fan of the Twins myself (born and raised in MN. Maybe not as much of a fan these days due to the Pohlad family. The piece presented here is beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
