I thought this was going to be about the twins who refused to sell the twins.com domain to the Minnesota Twins baseball team[0], but it looks like they did finally sell a couple of years ago[1]. I'm sure they mad a lot of money from that, but I found the idea of an average pair of twins holding onto it for nostalgia amusing, so I can't help but be a little disappointed. At least Ray's Boathouse still is holding onto rays.com, so I can enjoy tidbits like this[2]:
> It's been at least a decade since the MLB has asked to purchase Rays.com. However, Zeller's said if the league were to come back around he'd tell them the name's not for sale.
> "I'd probably take them upstairs sit on the deck, talk about baseball a little bit. Have some beer, discuss how the Mariners are going to beat the [Rays] in the playoffs and how we're going to win the World Series this year. There wouldn't be any discussion about selling the name. It's not for sale," Zellers said.
