Great photos, Jason. Thanks for posting. It helped me relive Friday night's very enjoyable pregame presentation. FYI, the guy at Frank Quilici's left is Rick Stelmaszek, not Sam Mele. At last report Sam, 87, was living in Quincy, MA. He did not attend the weekend Twins alumni festivities. Thanks again!
