RUTH STRIKES OUT
"[Gil] Gutknecht was simply referring to a pivotal moment in U.S. history, his campaign manager, Nels Pierson, said in a news release. 'Congressman Gutknecht could have just as easily referenced Kirby Puckett's Game 6 winning home run as a pivotal moment in Twins history,' Pierson said, 'and David Ruth would have put out a statement 'Gutknecht likens DFL party to Atlanta Braves.'"

In a way they are a bit like the Braves. Good enough to compete and be a factor, but never quite able to get over the hump.
Of course I think we're overlooking one obvious thing: that nickname. True to its core, the DFL would disassociate themselves with the Atlanta Braves as soon as the tribes laundered some campaign checks their way.
