    I'm not sure why it's a wasted season. This is the ultimate team sport. Although the Twins are just on the fringes of wild card contention and appear to be sliding out of relevance, Buxton's contributions have mattered.

    I met George at the open tryouts for the Saints at CHS Field. I thanked him for giving me the chance to dream for an afternoon. He was really respectful and took the time to acknowledge my efforts even though I was in my early forties and just there to see what I could do with obviously no chance to make the squad. I also used to call and email questions to his weekly Saints show.

    Sometimes good things happen to good people and that seems to be the case here. Buxton deserves this success.
  4. theBOMisthebomb
    Thank you again for the memories. I was there for all three of those 3,000th hit milestone games.

    Perhaps more Gardy era playoff success would have boosted some of the cases.

    Kirby Puckett is the greatest Twin. Perhaps a Field of Dreams 2 movie based on Bob Hegman's career?

    Buxton will get the one representative pity pick that will go to the Twins in 2025. It is good timing since the All Star game is in Buxton's home state.

    This sounds like a plan made for Louis Varland.

    I can't disagree. Although I really want to point out that Cleveland just seems so darn lucky. I suppose the "luck" probably comes because of the factors you mentioned. It's just so darn infuriating to witness all the one run wins against the Twins.

    Thank you for the update. I actually didn't remember Maxwell, this was still interesting, though.

    Let's check in at Memorial Day and see how things look. Right now, it's too soon.

    That was a dark day with the Puckett news.

    Joe Ryan wins 2025 Cy Young Award.

    The movie is better than solid double. It deserves its all-time great reputation. Funny story, when my wife and I were newly married it was the 'get Netflix DVDs in the mail' era (2010). I came home from work one day and she's holding a DVD with a big smile on her face. "Have you ever heard of the movie The Natural? It's about baseball." I wanted to act surprised, just couldn't though. It's been a marriage joke ever since.

    That Twins Pass is a sweet deal at $4 per game. I always wonder when I see the complaints about how expensive it is to attend Twins games if they know about the pass? I understand that you would need multiple passes to bring a family. If I were single with a less busy schedule, I'd be all over purchasing the Twins Pass. I have a Choice Membership and have to admit I'm a bit upset that they expanded the Twins Pass to include the home opener. I don't want to be a hater, it's just that the home opener option was one of the few benefits of the Choice plans over the Twins Pass.

    Oh wow, I played for Rosetown in the late 1980s and didn't hear anything about Mickey Rocco. The dad of one of my teammates played for Rosetown and they told me once that the dad's team won the state Legion title. I wonder if my teammate's dad played for Mickey Rocco's team? The timeline matches. I have some research and digging to do.

    "Do you vividly remember a player’s end like I did of Trombley when you just knew their time had come?" I know I've seen it many times before, I just can't think of any names right now.

    You won't exclude steroid cheaters yet would exclude a guy who gets a DWI or if you don't agree with his political views? I have no respect for that viewpoint and couldn't get beyond the introduction.

    I thought this was Randball Stu with the Rochester native Fritz Polka reference. However, the BB Ref link appears legitimate. Nice work, there was much deep dive interesting material here.

    The 5th most strikeouts all-time and it took 14 ballots for Bert to get the HOF nod. That's a bit extreme and seems like a joke. The guy had 94.5 WAR, 287 wins, and a 3.31 career ERA. Did the voters really not like giving up HRs that much?

    Great photos, thanks for sharing. Late December is a good time for a stroll down memory lane. I will always get emotional reminiscing on the 1987 and 1991 titles. The Kirby picture is still moving - I can't believe that was nearly 30 years ago. Just an observation - Killebrew was 35 years old in that picture. He looks 10 - 15 years older.

    From those highlights, you an see the Metrodome was rocking in 2009. Target Field came into existence in 2010 and has been amazing. I'm not saying I want the Metrodome back, I do miss it though. This was a nice memory jog for some of the role players on the 2009 Twins. You really do forget names and details after 15 years.

    Well, Gasper was 0 for 18 in 2024 to start his career.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    Why not us?
  25. theBOMisthebomb
    He's fine in Minnesota, no regrets. Don't forget, he also played well in the 2023 playoffs for the Twins.
