>> Cathy: I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WAS GOVERNOR PAWLENTY 20 YEARS AGO.

20 YEARS AGO.

WOW!

IT'S MINNESOTA HISTORY TIME!

LAST WEEK WE TOOK YOU BACK TO 1965.

WHEN A LONG COLD WINTER WAS FOLLOWED BY HEAVY APRIL RAIN, LEADING TO RECORD-BREAKING FLOODS IN REGIONAL RIVERS.

OUR MYSTERY PERSON QUESTION CONCERNED A ROAD, ONE OF THOSE RIVERS, AND THE HIGH WATERS IN MID-APRIL.

35W FLOODING LED A BELOVED MINNESOTAN TO USE UNORTHODOX TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO WORK ONE CHILLY AFTERNOON.

OUR TASK FOR YOU WAS SIMPLE.

WHO IS THIS MYSTERY MINNESOTAN AND HOW DID HE OR SHE GET TO WORK THAT SPRING DAY?

SIMPLE INDEED.

WE RECEIVED JUST ONE WRONG ANSWER.

TOM FROM MINNETONKA WAS THE ONLY CALLER WE FOOLED.

>> CATHY: WELL TOM, RIGHT RIVER BUT THE REST OF THE ANSWER IS NOT RIGHT.

A LOT OF YOU CALLED OR WROTE IN WITH THE FULL CORRECT ANSWER.

HERE'S THE PRODUCER'S PICK.

>> CATHY: THANK YOU, DON, FOR THOSE KIND WORDS.

YES, TWINS STARTING PITCHER JIM KAAT AND SEVERAL OTHER PLAYERS FOUND THEMSELVES MAROONED IN BURNSVILLE ON OPENING DAY IN 1965.

THERE'S AN OLD SPORTING NEWS ARTICLE THAT CHRONICLED THEIR ADVENTURE.

KAAT CALLED FORMER TEAMMATE PAUL GIEL, WHO WAS THE SPORTS DIRECTOR AT WCCO RADIO AT THE TIME, AND ARRANGED FOR THE 'CCO TRAFFIC CHOPPER TO FLY THEM TO MET STADIUM.

IN BLOOMINGTON.

THE TWINS, BY THE WAY, BEAT THE YANKEES IN EXTRA INNINGS THAT DAY.

AND THE 1965 TEAM WOULD GO ON
