It happened. The Twins won a playoff game for the first time in nearly 19 years and Minnesota fans are in disbelief. Like, the rest of the world has no idea what Twins fans are feeling on his Oct. 3, 2023 — two days shy of the 19-year anniversary of the last Twins playoff win.
The guy Fox 9 sports director Jim Rich interviewed outside Target Field after the 3-1 victory is a great representation of every Twins fan. In shock, the fan expresses great relief in the 18-game playoff losing streak coming to an end. Here’s how his one-on-one with Rich went…
Fan: “Thanks buddy.”
Jim Rich: “Ope, stay here. Stay here. What happened in there?”
Fan: They won. They won. They…won. They freaking won. The curse is over. Eighteen years. It’s done. They won. We’re done. We won. One game. 2004. Oh my God I don’t know what to do. We won. We won! We won!”
Jim Rich: “That sums it up.”

The Twins’ victory sets the stage for Game 2 on Wednesday, which could very well bring Minnesotans back into a state of panic if they lose and face an elimination game Thursday.
But if they win, the Twins will have momentum heading into a best-of-seven series against the Astros, who oh by the way lost to the Twins in four of six games during the regular season.
