HOT TWINS PIC: Bert Blyleven Tries Out The Latest In Pitching Equipment

[Parker Hageman]

The Minnesota Twins' team photographer, Brace Hemmelgarn, provides us a shot of Bert Blyleven donning the latest fashion of brain-saving technology for the mound people.

 

Lookin' good Bert. Lookin' real good.

That looks really weird ... heh.

If it prevents a single head injury it will be well worth it. Probably a little investment in materials science will restore the size.

 

Around Bert, people would need protective shoes as well.

Would look more Minnesotan with ear flaps, but's definitely got an outdoorsy hunting cap vibe to it.

I was just going to make an Elmer Fudd reference, but you beat me to it by a good 50 minutes.

 

It reminds me of the line from Major League when Ricky Vaughn tries on his first pair of glasses:

Lou Brown: You look good. Besides, seeing is the most important thing.

 

Willie Mays Hayes: I don't think it's that important.

Looks like Bert is getting ready to spin off a curveball.
