If you’re anything like me, another year with no real “dog in the fight” so to speak, I’ll be mostly meandering around the kitchen and living room – eating too much junk, maybe having a drink or two, passively watching the game whilst waiting for a decent commerc...7502Mon, 04 Feb 2019 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/comprehensive-ranking-of-every-twins-jersey-r7495/With the release of the new Twins alternate jerseys and the Super Bowl Blog Blowout, I felt like it was a perfect time to create a comprehensive ranking of every uniform (top and pants) a Twins player has donned since they moved to Minnesota in 1961. Obviously, this is a highly subjective topic an...7495Sun, 03 Feb 2019 21:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/by-the-numbers-the-twins%E2%80%99-biggest-missed-opportunity-r7501/Every artist gets asked the question ‘Where do you get your ideas?’ The honest artist answers ‘I steal them.’ - Austin Kleon As Twins fans, we tend to look at roster moves through Twins-colored glasses.

The signings of a number of free agents coming off a very decent previous season got a lot us over the moon. But one factor played a b...7499Sun, 03 Feb 2019 19:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/show-me-the-money-and-the-wins-r7498/How often does spending big in free agency actually result in winning more games the next year? Thank you for asking this question, voice in my head, because I was wondering the same thing. What I want to look at are the teams that spent the most money in the offseason and then how they did the ye...7498Sun, 03 Feb 2019 18:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/card-no-329-r7497/It all started with card no. 329. On a typical summer day in Southeast Minnesota, a young mom brought her oldest boy, an impressionable blue-eyed nine-year-old, to the local grocery store. We only made stops at that particular location if we needed one or two items.

After the surprise appearance as a catcher in the final 2018 season game, he packed up all his gear after it had been authenticated and handed the bag to the Twins curator, Clyde Doepner, so it could be shared wi...7496Sun, 03 Feb 2019 16:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/who39s-the-fourth-outfielder-r7500/It’s going to be a good battle for the fourth outfielder position. The Minnesota Twins still have a lot of questions to answer before the 2019 season, but one thing they probably don’t have to worry about is finding a fourth outfielder. The Twins currently have eight outfielders on their 40-Man Ro...7500Sun, 03 Feb 2019 15:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/minnesota39s-super-bowls-and-world-series-r7494/Memories of an old usher with a few tears in my eyes. 1961 was my first and only year as an usher at Metropolitan Stadium, but what a year it was.
