    We never had listed heights in baseball programs, but my basketball height in programs...a lot of creative license used there😜

    Classic rock fan for sure here. May I also suggest if he is successful as a closer...Sorcerer's Reign of the Reaper 🤘😁

    Do you think we need to also look deeper into the development, scouting philosophy of team closer. For all the naysayers....if everything is in such turmoil, how did we get former players such as Hawkins, Sizemore and Pressley to join ? Surely they should know with there experience a dumpster fire when they see one?

    This is the year I'm finally taking the pregame tour with Clyde. I sincerely do want to see the real Twins Mission Control Center with hologram Carl controlling the purse strings.

    Son an I followed him since he signed. We will continue to follow wherever he ends up. Thank you for the summary!

    It might be worth it to do a primer on card collecting for novice to experienced about the state of collecting, trends you see, the future of collecting and whether there is a bubble bursting in the near future. Just a couple thoughts. Thank you for bringing an avenue of the baseball experience to this site.

    "Limited"....means nothing substantial changes... except maybe Pohlads debt paid down...

    "Like it or not" NOT Thank you, I'll be here all week...

    Holy sh*t! Guess ownership was really listening to feedback from potential buyers saying your expenditures are too much for a price tag of 1.5 to 1.7 billion🥶.

    About spit my beer out laughing at the TV screen watching that emery board flip out of his back pocket. Absolutely hilarious. Too bad Hrbek wasn't able to get his foot over it🤣🤣

    Harmon coming to demonstrate his "Harmon Killebrew Power Stride" in 1970 at our T-ball all-star game that year. He absolutely crushed a ball with the power stride that left us kids in complete awe of this man. With a T-ball bat he hit it out of the park that had a 30 foot high fence, across the street and landing in a grocery store parking lot that sat on a hill. Others remember it as landing on the roof of the grocery store 😁. Either way we all agree now that probably the most amazing "hit" of any baseball player we've ever seen was hit by a man in street clothes with a toothpick of a bat in OUR baseball field one July evening in 1970.

    Innings/pitch counts down....spin rates jumping with corresponding rash of arm problems jumping something needs to be tried. Part im most curious about is the statement about recovery being quicker. I want to know the parameters they use in recovery and how they track that over the course of a season. I would need concrete data to get behind this. I hope they do cause like any fan a season can hinge on the health of starting pitching. As soon as we had 3 rookies SP last year, I knew the season was lost...

    Wow, looked at stats...guy was an on base machine. Look at his walks compared to strikeouts 😳. 11th round pick and gets a cup of coffee, Bravo 👏

    I like the articles on the little known players like this. It provides a very human side to them. Especially when we focus so much on stats starting as a kid in the 60s looking at baseball cards.😁

    "McCusker, McCusker, he's our man. If he can't do it, no one can!"📣📣

    I tend to root for underdogs, so give me Eeles and McCusker!
  17. Twins63
    Wow, only stories you usually hear from '61 Evil Empire is the homerun race between Maris and Mantle not 3 catchers hitting 20+ homers.

    "Dungarees"?🤣

    Absolutely love reading these! You mentioned a Twins treasure-Clyde Doepner. If you haven't heard one of Clyde's talks at Twins Fest, you are missing out on what makes baseball such a unique sport and part of our woven history. Someone should interview him for this site...

    I'm gonna lean on the Billy Martin mention.. As a manager he was worth almost 7.5 more wins per year...why would that be? It's because of his aggressive style of play. His mantra was to make less mistakes than your opponent. It doesn't just mean waiting for the pitcher to make a mistake. It means confusing your opponent. Bunting, stealing, extra bases. There are 8 other people on the diamond very capable of making a mistake at any time. That is the crux to me of what is missing in baseball these days...

    Think of any profession that has repetitive movements...there will always be injuries. Now throw in year round specialized sport training...like it was mentioned earlier you need to pick your sport early or be left behind. We know the treatment for the injuries, however, treating before injury might be the creative key to prevention. Whatever it takes-the "training" needs to incorporate just as much injury prevention work as sporting work....

    Mean boomstick...🤪

    Want me a Broomstick...✊

    Always like reading these, Thank you! Don't have any stories about Porter, however, the name Mark Larcom I think rings a bell. Think I played baseball with him at Golden Valley Lutheran College...🤔

    Remember, watching the Herbie debut and his home run. Don't know why we stayed up to watch a 12 inning game of such a dismal team though...🤣 Another game I watched involved Hank Aaron's 715th homer served up by...Al Downing. Loved the moment!
