St. Paul mayor to Twins: Pick me! Pick me!
Jack Evans disease is catching: Now it's St. Paul Mayor Randy Kelly who's told the Minnesota Twins that unless they anoint his city as their preferred home in the next few months, he'll take his stadium site and go home. "This has been going on now since 1999,'' Kelly told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "Either the Twins will want to come to St. Paul and partner up with us on a stadium, or we need to look at other opportunities for that property." Given that Kelly's own city council is none too crazy about the idea, while the state legislature is facing a projected $1 billion budget deficit, it's likely the sort of threat that the Twins can safely ignore.
