 and I'd like to welcome the winners of the 84th World Series, the Minnesota Twins there. By the way, if you'd like to move back here, keep in mind there's no astroturf here. Rose Garden has real grass, and I know there are a lot of people in this town who want a Major League Baseball team again, so if you guys ever get tired of it. Here's the most valuable player. You guys proved them wrong. Winning all four home games, which is the way it should have been, what with your home win percentage of 6-9-1. The Minnesota Twins franchise has come a long way in the past 86 years. It started out as the Washington. You know, one sportscaster announcing those games proclaimed forget the decibel meter. How about the Richter scale? Or a second baseman, Steve Lombardosi, said, I wish all the fans that were out there tonight could stand in my shoes and feel the exhilarating feeling. It is beyond description. Well, Steve, I'm not sure those fans... I saw my operator on the other side of the window, the headphones on, listening to the dot and dash from the field, start typing, meaning that there was something, the ball was on the way to the wind up. Here comes the pitch, and he was shaking his head, no, and I took it and it said the wire is gone dead. I had a ball on the way to the plate, so I had Jurgers found it off. And the two kids had gotten a fight over the ball. Well, this went on till I knew now I couldn't back out. I'd had him at the plate so long, and all of a sudden, Curly started typing. And I started another ball to the plate and got it, and I could hardly talk for a giggling. Jurgers popped out on the first ball pitch. But in the meantime, I had set a baseball bat for one point. Considering they're the only team to play in the World Series three times in this decade, and to reach this playoff, the Cardinals had to overcome the immense talent of three great teams, the Mets, the Expos, and the Giants. I'd like to thank them. So to all you champions here, and those Homer-Hanky-Waving Minnesotans back home, Mr. President, you will extend our bed. The media's bad. You talk to these fellows or something. Okay. On behalf of the Ball Club, Mr. President, we brought along a few from the Ys. The Ys brought their a whistle along for you, or Mrs. Reagan. If you need that to referee any of your talks coming up. Pretty much. I'm very proud to have these.
