MPR’s Tom Scheck shares details on Hennepin County District Judge Harry Crump ruling that the Minnesota Twins must play baseball in the Metrodome next season. In an order filed, Crump ruled in favor of the injunction request filed in prior week by the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission.

Judge Crump plainly stated that the Twins exercised their option to play baseball in the Metrodome and he's holding the team to it. He said there is a substantial likelihood that the Commission will prevail on the merits of its case. Furthermore Crump concluded that the Twins 2002 home games are inextricably entwined with the vital public interest. Crump said baseball is as American as turkey and apple pie and said quote "Clearly there is more than money at stake."
