69-year-old John Gargaro, who has
held season tickets for the Twins
since 1962 and the Vikings since 1969
"I can’t envision it, but the miracle
has happened with the Twins so it
could happen again ”
Both teams were at least 75-to-1
longshots to win it all at the start of
their respective seasons And both
were criticized for some lackluster
play just before the playoffs.
But the Twins advanced to the
World Senes by soundly beating the
team with the best record in
baseball, and the Vikings are in Sun-
day’s NFC title game against the
Washington Redskins after outscor-
ing the NFL’s two most successful
teams by a combined 80-34
Although the Vikings are more ac-
customed to postseason play than the
Tw ins, both teams ended long playoff
droughts this season The Twins had
last played for the American league
pennant in 1970; the Vikings haven’t
been in an NFC title game since the

That s difficult to say because you are as different
as your substantial number would imply! You are
one of the 4,100 households we re invited to every
evening. That s quite a few. According to the most
recent census, our township has slightly less than
5000 households.
Your vocation is part of a broad spectrum as well
~ white collar, blue collar, owners, managers,
cowboys, teachers, housewifes, students and pro-
fessional.
Yet, with all your individual complexities, your in-
terest in local issues and news gives you and other
readers a common bond which is separated only
by your level of curiosity.
You are an informed, intelligent and often vocal
audience, and we re happy to be a part of your
household every evening!

1977 season.
"It’s one of those things that I don’t
know will happen again.” Gargaro
said
The Vikings took some heat for los-
ing three of their last four games and
backing into the playoffs, but are
now being toasted by their fans after
beating New Orleans 44-10 and San
Francisco 36-24.
The Twins were glorified when
they clinched the American League
West title, but there was concern
when they finished with five straight
losses away from home for a 29-52
road record, worst ever for a division
or pennant winner

Dorsett told Landry in a half-hour
meeting he would like to go to
Denver. San Francisco or the Los
Angeles Rams
Tony said he doesn't want to
finish his career on the bench." Lan-
dry said He would still get a lot of
playing time with us behind Herschel
but we’ll try to honor his wishes ”
On another matter. Landry said he
has incited Danny White to quarter-
back school in the spring to see what
kind of progress he is making with
his injured right w nst
White has said he might retire if
his wrist doesn’t get better
We want to watch Danny and see

Lynn admits he borrowed from the

There is one huge difference bet-
ween the Twins and Vikings. The
baseball team was unbeatable in its
downtown Metrodome — We had
something very, very special The
bigger the crowd, the better we
played," McPhail said — but the
poor finish condemned the football
team to the road for all its postseason

MINNEAPOLIS (API - The Min-
; V ikings have borrowed heavi-
from the playbook of the 1987 Min-
'a rwins by blowing away the
and storming to the brink of a
i hampionship
God, we re really on a tear," said
"Nobody took either team very
seriously," said Lou D’Amico, who
runs the sports book for Caesars
Palace in Las Vegas. He listed the
Vikings at 50-1 to win the Super Bowl
— and that was after Minnesota had
qualified for the playoffs.
But like the Twins, who beat
Detroit in five games in the
American League playoffs, the Vik-
ings absolutely peaked at the right
time," D'Amico said.
Vikings middle linebacker Scott
Studwell said the underdog role has
helped
We seem to do a lot a lot better
when there is less pressure on us,”
Studwell said.
"We were underdogs in every
game,” tight end Steve Jordan said.
We , Vikings and Twins, were both
underdogs.”
Gary Gaetti, the Twins’ third
baseman, repeatedly said during the
playoffs that the Twins thrived on
pr ving skeptics wrong They did
just that in beating the St Louis Car-
dinals in seven games in the World
Series
It just could be the year of the
Twins and the Vikings," D'Amico
said

tions. so perhaps Dallas can swap for
somebody else
