MINNESOTA.

>> ERIC: ANOTHER FULL SHOW TONIGHT SO HERE'S ANOTHER SPEEDY VERSION OF OUR MINNESOTA HISTORY QUESTION AND ANSWER.

WE TOOK YOU BACK IN TIME TO THE SPRING OF 1972.

AT THE BEGINNING OF APRIL AN INDUSTRY WIDE DISPUTE LED A COLLECTION OF FAMED PERFORMERS TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE AT ST. OLAF COLLEGE.

WE TOLD YOU THE GROUP WOULD SPEND THIRTEEN DAYS WORKING IN NORTHFIELD BEFORE RETURNING TO THEIR HOME DIGS LATER IN THE MONTH.

WHAT COLLECTION OF FAMED PERFORMERS SETTLED IN FOR A THIRTEEN-DAY RESIDENCY AT ST. OLAF COLLEGE IN APRIL 1972?

WE ASKED THIS QUESTION TWO WEEKS IN A ROW, MOSTLY BECAUSE WE WANTED MORE ANSWERS TO CHOOSE FROM - BOTH RIGHT AND WRONG.

HERE'S OUR FAVORITE COLLECTION OF WRONG ANSWERS.

>> ERIC: ALL CLEVER.

ALL WRONG.

BUT WE ARE HAPPY TO REPORT THAT WE RECEIVED SEVERAL CORRECT ANSWERS THIS WEEK.

INCLUDING THIS NEXT CALLER WHO STEPPED UP BOTH WEEKS.

>> ERIC: THE GROUP OF PERFORMERS WAS THE MINNESOTA TWINS.

THERE'S A NICE SHOT OF HARMON KILLEBREW WAITING TO TAKE BATTING PRACTICE.

DURING SPRING TRAINING IN 1972, THE FIRST BIG BASEBALL PLAYERS STRIKE HAPPENED.

SO THE TWINS PLAYERS AND COACHES PACKED UP AND HEADED FROM FLORIDA TO NORTHFIELD TO CONTINUE PRACTICING UNTIL THE STRIKE WAS SETTLED.

SPECIAL THANKS TO BRENDAN HENEHAN FOR THE SPRING-TRAINING-RELATED QUESTION.

WE HAVE JUST ENOUGH TIME LEFT FOR SOME SHOW-ENDING MUSIC.
