10,000th Homer

[stringer bell]

With Hendriks going tonight, maybe, just maybe, a Twin will connect for Franchise Home Run #10,000.  Before it happens, let's get some predictions who does it and the game situation.  Chi-Town quoted a forecast of a rather brisk wind blowing in from right, so I'm going with a RH hitter (or Mauer oppo).

 

I'm going to say Kennys Vargas in the sixth inning vs. a LH Royal reliever, two on and two out.

This would be a good point to make in the game thread.

Prediction:  The Twins will hit that elusive 10,000th bomb at OPCY.  Kind of a bandbox and even though they aren't hitting great, somebody will get ahold of one.

The mark of a team with scant power: predicting we will hit at least one home run in an upcoming series.

I assume at least one of Vargas, Arcia, Plouffe, or Dozier will get a homer in the Orioles' series - it would be hard for them not to hit at least one.... _Right?

And the 10,000th homer will be hit by... Joe Mauer.
