As baseball fans, we all remember our favorite games throughout the years, and often wish we could relive those exciting moments. For Minnesota Twins fans, this book accomplishes exactly that.
Author Dave Wright takes a chronological look at the greatest moments in Twins baseball history, picking what he considers to be the greatest Twins performances on each day of the year, April-September, adding up to 162. From 1961 to the present (2009), Wright recaps some of the most exciting single games ever played.
This book will be most favorably enjoyed by more "seasoned" Twins fans, as the 1960s and 70s seem to provide most of the key moments in the book. Younger fans may not be able to identify as much with those names, but even then it still serves as a great history lesson.
Thus, I highly recommend this book an any and all Twins fans. All the game stories are well-written, and the ones you remember will really resonate on a nostalgic level.

Great book but marred by many errors, e.g. getting the manager wrong in several places, what division the team played in in 2008 to name a couple.
