User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Wheaties box featuring the 1987 World Champions Minnesota Twins is worth about $5.-$10. in near/mint condition, full with cereal or not. Condition of the box is very important, and minor flaws will bring the value down. Flattened boxes will also have a lower value. The front of the box pictures the Minnesota Twins celebrating their victory. The back of the box has a tribute to the Minnesota Twins written by Jim Klobuchar.

Why is the name Golden Gophers significant to Minnesota?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is the mascot for the University of Minnesota. The "Golden" Gophers (FROM WIKIPEDIA) The Gopher mascot is a tradition as old as the state. Minnesota was tabbed the "Gopher State" in 1857 after a satirizing cartoon, depicting nine Gophers with the heads of local politicians pulling a locomotive, was published. The story was over legislative action for a $5 million railroad proposal in western Minnesota. Later, the University picked up the nickname. The "Golden" adjective has not always been a part of the Gopher nickname. During the 1930s, the Gophers wore gold jerseys and pants. Legendary KSTP radio announcer Halsey Hall coined the term "Golden Gophers" in reference to the team's all-gold attire on the field. From 1932 through 1941, Minnesota compiled an impressive record, losing only 12 games and winning seven Big Ten titles and five national championships-a true "golden" decade of Gopher football.

Why is the Minnesota Vikings' mascot a viking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Minnesota has been known as the Gopher State since 1857. The first University of Minnesota yearbook, published in 1887 was called the Gopher Annual. The first time the University's sports team was called the Golden Gophers was in 1934, because of their all-gold uniforms. The Gopher mascot was born in 1952 when Jerome Glass, assistant bandmaster, gought a fuzzy wool suit and coerced Jim Anderson, a junior, to put it on. Anderson joked by telling the press,

They took the guy who couldn't march or play and put him where he wouldn't do any harm.

TRIVIA NOTE: Bernie Bierman, the first University of Minnesota football coach, chose gold for a uniform color, because it was more difficult for the opposing team to see the football being held by someone in a gold uniform.

  • The child must be capable of supporting himself or herself financially and managing his or her own affairs
