where a 12 year old became the manager of the Twins. I first watched it when I was about 7 or 8, and I liked it a lot. That movie also was a big reason why I started liking the Twins early on (before I started seriously following the A's). I liked the Metrodome, and I liked the Twins' logo and home jerseys.
