Back in the day I used to attend Twins games much more frequently. Not so anymore, which leaves me wondering every time if this will be the last time I will get to see a game in the ballpark I grew up in.
Yes, it's the worst baseball stadium in the league, but it's mine. I grew up here. This is where I watched my childhood heroes win two world championships. Don't tell me I can't miss it.
Someday all the stadiums in the world are going to fall down. But not on us. And so while I watched the Twins get beat by the Yankees in 12 innings last Saturday night, I had plenty of time to ponder the temporal nature of the things we hold dear for their own temporal sake.

I love that place, too.
