On This Date in Minnesota History: July 21

July 21, 2012 – Mike Lynn, Vikings General Manager and the mastermind behind what many consider the worse sports trade in history, died on this date.

“Lynn is perhaps best [remembered in Minnesota] for sending five players and seven draft choices -- including three first-round picks -- to the Cowboys for running back Herschel Walker on Oct. 12, 1989. The Cowboys went on to win three Super Bowls, while Walker recorded 2,264 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns for the Vikings in 42 games.”
