    Brian Harper at catcher should not be overlooked for an honorable mention. Six seasons with the Twins, he did as much to win us the 1991 World Series as anyone. Led all Twins with his WS .381 b.a. and we would not have won game 7 without that electrifying 3-2-3 double play in the 8th between him and the famous wrestler Kent Hrbek.

    "it's a walk off laser to left' . . . Thanks Cory. What a lovely call!

    . . . and let's not forget third baseman Corey Koskie either. Another good Canadian hockey playing Twins great, who's career was cut too short by a concussion, and whose loss was also felt deeply on the field.

    Yes indeed . . . fondly remembering AL MVP and Twins Hall of Famer Justin Morneau. I still think about what might have been, but for his second base concussion injury.

    Wow! That clip of Lewis clutching his hamstring on a swinging strike is brutal. This does not look good.

    This is terrific. Thanks so much for curating and posting this.

    I enjoyed this analysis Cody. I found it to be perfectly cromulent.

    Great interview! You were obviously well prepared and Matt could read that and was open, forthcoming and in the mood to speak frankly and have some fun as a result. Great memories from a great Twins player. Thanks for taking the time you did to do this so well.

    This article and all the commentary focus primarily on his hitting and great background to prepare him for the big leagues. He must be able to field short or third I am guessing so I will take that as a given. Does anyone have anything to add about his arm strength to play these positions? Thanks

    I have to say that I am getting really tired of the military gear on MLB ballplayers. Parents take their impressionable kids to the game to see their team. The military pays MLB to wear the gear to make an impression on the kids. The players have no choice but to wear what they are given. Enough already. It ruins the game for me.

    Glad that I didn't pay money to buy a ticket to watch what is being sold as big league professional baseball. Little League pitching, Little League fielding and Little League base running. I played a ton of games like this when I was seven years old and watched my kids do the same. I am tired of watching this kind of baseball . . . especially twice in one week. Good grief!

    63 years old and a lifelong Twins fan from Canada. I really enjoy your historical retrospectives Matt. Lots of great memories there which always get me thinking about those Twins players / announcers / supporting characters again.

    Thanks for this interesting analysis again Parker. Always insightful. What struck me most when I watched the video was how still his head is now compared to before. He appeared to dip and change the level of his head then. Now he appears to stay on the same plane and, in this swing at least, really drives through the ball.

    Thanks for this terrific tribute John. As a Canadian, I have been a big Morneau supporter since he was first drafted. My family and I have made the trek to Minneapolis almost every year of his career just to watch him play a few games. Concussions or not, it's been fun to watch the long arc of his truely remarkable career as a Minnesota Twin. A big part of the joy (and wistful sorrow) of being a life time supporter of a team comes from watching the players come up, thrill us with their talent, and then see them fade away into team history. Justin Morneau will always be one of those special players in Twins history because, like Tony O, we will always be left to marvel at his talent, grit and dedication, and to lament what could have been. Both on and off the field, he's been a distinct credit to the Twins uniform and to playing baseball the "Twins way". I for one think it would be a fitting tribute, and a credit to both him and to the Twins, to see his uniform number ultimately retired.
