The Twins Almanac for July 17, 2025: Twins Turn Two Triple Plays, Jim Thome Scares Delmon Young

In today's Almanac, the Twins turn an unprecedented two triple plays, Jim Thome hits one of the longest home runs in Twins history, Puckett plays the infield in a walk-off win, Denny Hocking leads off consecutive games with a home run, and more.

Get To Know: Twins First Base Prospect Ryan Costello

In late July, infielder Ryan Costello was putting together a solid season for the Clinton Lumberjacks. In fact, he was on the brink of a promotion to High-A. After batting practice, he was called into manager Denny Hocking’s office and told that he had just been traded to the Minnesota Twins as part of the deal that sent lefty Zach Duke to the Seattle Mariners. Along with moving to a new organization, Costello also moved up a level, joining the Ft. Myers Miracle for their championship run. It was an interesting 2018 season for Costello. Recently, he chatted with Twins Daily and let us get to know him.

Where Are They Now? Former Twins IF Denny Hocking

In 1989, the Minnesota Twins used their 52nd round draft pick to select a catcher named Denny Hocking from El Camino College, a junior college in Torrance, California. Drafted in a round that no longer exists, Hocking not only became the lowest-drafted player to play for the Twins, but he spent 13 seasons in the big leagues including 11 seasons with the Twins. Since his retirement following the 2005 season, Hocking has continued to have an interesting life in and around the game of baseball. Recently, I had the opportunity to catch up with Hocking who is now the manager of the Clinton LumberKings, the Midwest League affiliate of the Seattle Mariners.
