Powers: Strange Twins Characters of the Dome Era (2009 Article)

[Seth Stohs]

I don't know why this article showed up on my Twitter timeline tonight. I assumed it was current, but it's actually from 2009, the final season that the Twins played at the Dome. 

Anyway, Tom Powers wrote a fun article about some characters of the Twins during the Metrodome years. Examples are Lew Ford, David West, Houston Jiminez, and several others... Fleas is funny!

Lew is STILL a player coach for The Long Island Ducks (although injured).

He even got another cup of coffee with the Orioles 8 YEARS AGO!
