I remember watching a Twins game on TV as a kid and the camera panned to the crowd during a Kent Hrbek at-bat. A Twins fan held a sign that lovingly said, "Kent, buy a vowel!"
Lefties Ron Guidry and Frank Viola were trading goose eggs through the first three and a half innings. Guidry even struck out four of the first five Twins he faced. But in the bottom of the fourth Tim Teufel doubled home Kent Hrbek. Minnesota maintained a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the eighth when Hrbek launched a major two-run homer against tough leftie reliever Dave Righetti. Suddenly Minnesota, the worst team in the AL this season, has won two games against the Bronx Bombers.
