The River Bats announced Tuesday that former Twins star Gary Gaetti will be in St. Cloud for the Bats' home opener against Duluth June 3.  Gaetti helped the Twins win their first World Series Title in 1987 and Twins fans will never forget where they were when Gaetti threw a strike to Kent Hrbek to record the final out to give the Twins their first World Series title in franchise history.  Fans love winners and Gaetti is remembered as a winner.  Fans have always come out in big numbers to see former Twins players especially from the '87 team.  I remember playing in the first Twins Alumni Game at Faber Field with players like Steve Lombardozzi, Tim Laudner and Ron Davis.  Anytime we can relive a great championship team we will and this year it might be more needed considering the lack of success from our Minnesota Sports teams.  The Vikings, Wild, Timberwolves and Gophers have each struggled lately and the Twins have gotten off to a rough start.
