Shortly after the debate started someone knocked on the door

3. It reminds me of what happened when the Twins were in the World Series

I believe it was in '87 (maybe '91). I get a call from an ernest young man who wants to discuss precinct caucus strategey for the nuclear freeze movement.

I told him I was watching the game and he asked "Do you really think a baseball game is more important than the nuclear freeze?" (He was so sincere, I just couldn't get angry at him for that snark.) I pointed out that the caucuses were several months away and the game was on at that very moment and we ended the call.

A couple nights later, he calls again. "I made sure the game wasn't on yet." I told him I appreciated that and pointed out it was a travel day and there was no game that night (I refrained from asking how any Minnesotan could not know that). Then I let him continue.

I wonder what ever became of him, or the nuclear freeze for that matter.
