He hit some of the most impressive homers of any Twins hitter last season. Here’s a look back at the five longest home runs hi...6216Wed, 15 Nov 2017 01:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/paul-molitor-wins-american-league-manager-of-the-year-r6215/Paul Molitor received 18 of the 30 first-place votes for the Manager of the Year award including that of Twin Cities media member Pat Borzi.
