Iwazzabadboy sends these photos from last night's patriotic and energetic rally:

Proud Americans

That's . . . . JUSTINCREDIBLE!
This brings tears to Batgirl's eyes. We shall have another one on September 19th, I believe, in which all of Team Batgirl will add to the ranks. Thank you all so much for coming out to show your support for Santana/Nathan '04, and especially to Skorch for the sombrero.

Posted by: InWithTheNew at September 4, 2004 03:50 PMHey, there's a sombrero at least. I look forward to the rally on the 19th!
Posted by: mmmarkiep at September 4, 2004 04:38 PMThis is Minnesota, InWithTheNew, 89.4% white per the 2000 census. If you picked 6 Minnesotans out of a hat (and what a large hat that would be) you'd have a 51% chance of ending up with all white folks. Just saying.
The eerie thing is that at today's game as if pulled there by some unseen Batforce, we sat in those EXACT SAME SEATS. Whoa.
Posted by: mmmarkiep at September 4, 2004 08:47 PMThe state-wide population is 89.4% white (or was in 2000). The city of Minneapolis proper is 65.1% white, and 67.0% for St. Paul. The composite of Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Anoka, and Washington counties, a reasonable area from which to draw Twins fans to the Metrodome, is 84.1% white.
Dear InWithTheNew,
Welcome to Batgirl. Thank you so much for joining us, and I'm sorry you have to begin here by having some posts deleted, but random and absurd accusations of racism are no more welcome on Batgirl than racism itself, or any kind of hatred other than that devoted to the Bitch Sox, the Yankees, or Fox Sports. I
would like to ask you to please refrain from accusing/insulting other posters. Batgirl's site has managed to be a friendly one, filled with general bonhomie; the intent is to provide people with a fun place to be to talk about the Twins, not to give another home for flame wars. All are welcome here, as long as they are respectful. Please read the comments policy to left and you'll do just fine.
Sincerely,
Batgirl
