Best Baseball Game I Ever Saw

Live, that is.  I spent the last two days hauling furniture to my daughter in the Twin Cities, and Wednesday night House Blanchard went to see the Twins play Oakland.  We were sitting thiry rows behind home plate, and just a hair to right of the first base line.  That's my favorite spot because you can see the whole game very well, and still hear the ball hit the catcher's glove every time.  I am pretty sure it was the  best game I have ever watched at the Stadium (as opposed to on TV).  Aside from an error by Punto that cost the Twins a run, both teams were very sharp.  The A's went up by one in the second and the Twins caught up with Cuddyer's first homer in the third.  Another Oakland homer in the top of the 7th, and then Cuddyer's second homer, with Jones on base, gave the Twins their first lead in the bottom of the 7th.  In the 8th Nick Swisher doubled and the A's used a bunt and a sacrifice fly to turn that into a tie game.  Gardy brought out Joe Nathan to hold the A's and in the bottom of the ninth Lew Ford hit a deep ball off the right field wall, and Justin Morneau, taking off from first, never stopped running.  I knew he was out when he rounded third base, but he managed to dive and swipe home plate just under the tag.  That, ladies and gentlemen, is baseball.
