We also need a manager like Billy Martin  that would not accept this kind of baseball  ...

I can hear him say to a player  , sorry son but until you learn to play the game the right way  I'm going to have to send you to the bench and the FO can also decide what to do with you ... 

But he also might just punch him ...

I’m not a Billy Martin fan, but maybe someone like TK

Twins games can feel like they're over before they are.  Hope they get back on track, show something here.

If they don't get going soon  , I'm going fishing and just might forget my transistor radio

didn't the Cubs have someone try it...........Ben Zobrist?

Good idea  ...

By the way Tovar  was a twins player that played all nine position  in the early 70's ...

The most recent one was within that last couple of years , who or for what team I'm not quite sure ...

I think it was Shane Halter and I believe it was against us. It was quite a while ago...maybe like 15 years ago. 

[RickOShea]

Andrew Romine

[Squirrel]

Here’s the list … only 5 have done it … thought it was more … most recently Romine did it with the Tigers in 2017

Maybe instead of the homerun vest they should have something for a strikeout  to embarrass the hitter ...

Bring back The Golden Sombrero!

[USAFChief]

Andrew Romine was the last to play all 9 positions in a game...against your Minnesota Twins

The Padres do this thing with a sombrero and a piñata in their clubhouse … probably after wins

Now, that is quite the trivia … only 5 have done it, and 2 involved the same two teams

Let’s not go that far … and, fyi, pink is a very strong color, blue is the sissy color

[IndianaTwin]

I assume there was a bad hop on the first batter, since the radio play-by-play guy called it as, “Ground ball to the right side. Single up the middle.”

Or it could just be the middle three innings of a Twins game. 

[Blyleven2011]

Thanks for the trivia  and our memories of pepe ...

Okay blue , I'll compromise...

For whatever little it's worth, somewhere I read that back in the 19th century, pink and blue were the reverse of what they are now for infants and so forth.  Things change, time flies.

Hope to have the windows washed by game time! I’ve posted the matchups, will post lineups when I see them.

Go Twins!

 

Yeah, it’s 80 degrees here. I should probably swap out the storm door for a screen. Tomorrow.
