The Anaheim Angels on Sunday did what Bud Selig, Carl Pohlad, the Chicago White Sox, the Cleveland Indians, a mess of injuries, and the Oakland A's feared pitchers could not do: make the Minnesota Twins go away.

A season filled with accomplishments of mythical proportions won’t end with a World Series ring for the scrappy, low-budget Twins, but the team has left its fans with enough memories to last for the four months until pitchers and catchers report to spring training in Ft. Meyers, Fla. -- and long beyond.

The best part is that they will be back next year.

Looking back, it was a season to remember for Minnesota baseball fans. Looking forward, it may be the start of even better things.
