Happy First Day of Fall!
Well, this season didn’t turn out like anybody expected or wanted. When the 2021 season started, we had hoped our beloved Minnesota Twins would be playing deep within the autumnal glory. For a myriad of reasons that have been hashed out on Twins Daily alone, the hometown nine will not be making a play-off run this season.
It’s going to be a long offseason. Maybe now is a good time to pick up a hobby to occupy our lonely, baseball-loving hearts. Macramé? Decoupage? Day trading?
Apparently, some of the Twins players have side interests to keep their minds off their apparent 2021 baseball playing ineptitudes. We all remember Trevor May’s love of video games. Or Pat Neshek’s autograph obsession. Currently, it looks like maybe Tyler Duffey is gunning for Brace Hemmelgarn’s team photographer gig.

What other avenues do you think our boys partake in during their downtime? Does Max Kepler ferment his own sauerkraut? Is Willians Astudillo a yoga instructor at the YMCA? Maybe Kenta Maeda is really into claymation.
Any other wild guesses?
