Some heartwarming news from the '21 season for the Christmas holidays...

Hi, I'm new here, and I've been a Twins fan from Western Pennsylvania since 1987...

For my first post, we know about the road rage incident that claimed the life of Little League coach Jay Boughton on July 6. On July 24, when the Angels were at Target Field, the Twins would honor Jay by welcoming his son Harrison to Target Field. 

Here's MLB's story on this: https://www.mlb.com/news/twins-getting-younger-2021

Now, here's KMSP-TV Fox 9: https://www.fox9.com/news/twins-meet-with-family-of-baseball-coach-killed-in-hwy-169-shooting

I know this was a disappointing season for us Twins fans, but with Buck and La Tortuga meeting with the Boughton family, this was my highlight of the 2021 Twins season.

May the Boughton family have memories of Jay forever, and let's wish his family and friends a great 2022 and beyond.

People of the Twins Daily community, did you know Jay, attend the Angels-Twins game (on the night the Twins honored Jay) or was an assistant for him in youth baseball? Let's discuss!

Here's the GoFundMe page to help Jay's family. Twins' president Dave St. Peter donated $250 to help them. Let's chip in and help Jay's family: https://www.gofundme.com/f/jay-boughton-family-fund?utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet+chico96v&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer

Thanks for having me here...I've been a Twins fan since 10/18/87! Cheers from the Pittsburgh area!
