Name Yer Twin, Episode 1

[Brock Beauchamp]

This is a new thing we'll be doing on the forums. It's a fun little game where once a week, we post a player and you try to guess who it is. This is part of a push to offer more ways to interact with the site. This is the first (tiny) piece of the puzzle with more stuff launching around Opening Day and throughout the season.

Let me know if you have suggestions how to improve it!

You're all a terrible disappointment to your mothers.

[tony&rodney]

Cuddyer?

[nicksaviking]

He's got an infielder's glove and throwing like an infielder, not a pitcher. I think that's the late 1990's-end of the Metrodome era road uniform. I'll go with Nick Punto.

Yet she still posts my bail.

[Parfigliano]

It's Dan Gladden

[nicksaviking]

Oh, nope, I missed the small detail up by the brim of the cap. Looks like it's the flip sunglasses which I don't remember Punto ever wearing. I change my pick to Chuck Knoblauch in his last season with the Twins.

Which means that's the last throw of his that didn't end up in the dugout.

I was gonna go with Knoblauch, now I'll say Todd Walker.

Luckily.   Because I was about to post something much earthier but in a similar vein.

Those forearms have me thinking Punto also.

I’ll hire a spiritualist medium and ask her.

Five bucks if you hit up my mom while you're at it.

Sure. What can we use to identify her?

Um, just yell "Darlene?"

[Brock Beauchamp]

By the way, no one has gotten this right yet.

Worth a shot.

[Ben B]

Pat Meares

[Cory Engelhardt]

I'll give it a go. Is that Brent Gates?

[ashbury]

Augie Ojeda?

[Parfigliano]

Is it Jamey Carroll

[bean5302]

Looks a bit like Pat Meares as @Ben B stated.

[big dog]

Rich Becker, for the win!

[Cornholio]

Molitor

[big dog]

oooh, Molitor's a great choice...

[Vanimal46]

Classic 1990s Twins logo on the patch and the correct M Twins hat… Is this mystery player throwing from 2B, 3B, or SS is the question 

[bean5302]

The navy top with "MINNESOTA" AND the Twins baseball logo on the sleeve AND gray striped pants AND the lowercase "m" logo on the cap was used as a road alternate 1997-1999.

 

[USAFChief]

1990s, stocky. RH thrower. Infield glove...Denny Hocking.

 

BTW love this idea.

Yes, I am a terrible disappointment and she reminds me every time I see her.
