List some sports moments, teams, players, etc. that your state can be proud of.Minnesota1991 TwinsKevin GarnettMajority of 1980 USA Hockey Team were MinnesotansFran Tarkenton1998 Vikings...almost....yeah that's about it.
New Yorkoh lawd
>>227384Just list Babe Ruth and you'll have enough to already beat everyone.
>>227382Yea fuck Kirby and Santana.
>>227387Kirby falls under 1991 Twins category.Santana is a bitch nigga.
>>227391Well that "bitch nigga" won 2 Cy Youngs and got the pitching triple crown while in Minnesota, not to mention got you to the playoffs. Also, he took a "hometown" discount to stay with the Twins.
>>227395I only call him a bitch nigga because he's a Met now. He was a memorable player though, no doubt. Maybe it's just because the Twins have had a lot of other memorable pitchers that stick out so much that Santana doesn't remain as fresh in my mind.
Mostly everything in California is Southern California, but since I hate every team below the Sacramento county line I'll stick with our one moment of success.2002 NBA Champions.Remember game sixhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcS10rSrOhIhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlByVWEEXE8&feature=relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0KJvlSUB-w&feature=related
