As a reminder, here's how I think this is playing out, sans objections:
-- Draft whomever you like this round.
--Round 26: Draft someone who played for the Twins
--Round 27: Draft a skipper
--Round 28: Draft a stadium
--Mags drafts all 28 rounds at once
Well, thank you for entertaining me over the past month. I would guess the results of this poll are a forgone conclusion, but let's put it out there anyway.

I tried to find Hawk Harrelson's call of Thome's homer. There's even a reddit threat talking about looking for the clip. Alas, it appears to be gone forever. I guess a minute of silence isn't worth keeping around.
Also, I found clips below of Gordo calling other parts of Game 163. I'm guessing Gladden got the call for Casilla's walk-off, and while I've never heard it, I don't really care to.

The video here of Puckett includes a partial call from Vin Scully at the end I had not heard. Also, a local highlights reel of Scott Erickson's no-hitter along with a banal interview.
