Narrative:

We had just landed on runway 29R 25 mins earlier and had a quick turn around at msp. Upon push back I could see aircraft landing on 22. We received a taxi clearance to runway 11L, hold short of runway 22. I had a mind set that we were cleared to runway 22, hold short of runway 11L. The ground controller then questioned us on our pre-departure clearance and we were interrupted on our taxi checks. The hold short point is a common intersection going both to 11L and 22 runways. When cleared to cross I proceeded to the approach end of runway 22, rather than going as instructed to 11L. Tower noted my error after I had reached the approach end of 22 and redirected me to runway 11L. 1) contributing factor was that we had been up until XA00 slc time that same morning because of a rerte. 2) we had landed on 29R 25 mins earlier and did not expect a takeoff into what was landing traffic. 3) seeing runway 22 landing traffic, upon push back, and setting in my mind that this was the departure runway. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states traffic landing 22 was only other aircraft moving at the time of incident. Believes seeing landing traffic helped create his mind set and ability to reverse the runway numbers. Ability to reverse the runway numbers. The query reference pre departure clearance took first officer and so out of the loop and so no one else monitoring taxi. The area where holding short was common to taxi across either runway. Tower did not notice until at departure end of 22. Too late!
