    Awesome story, what a great read. Read some Twins names I haven't heard in awhile. Bombo.

    RandBalls Stu, IMO one of the best and gutsy pieces I've ever read on Twins Daily. I fully support the decision by the Twins and Tigers not to play and hopefully it got a few heads that were buried in the sand to come up and take a look at what's really going on in our world.

    "What Griffith said was inappropriate. But it was something that someone born more than a century ago said more than 4 decades ago. It has no bearing on what is happening today." I wholeheartedly disagree that the mindset and mentality of Calvin Griffith 4 decades ago has no bearing on what is going on today. That mindset and mentality among white America is still alive and well (and I say that being a white male.) That same line of thinking has been passed on to the next generation for decades/centuries, and still exists today and is deeply rooted in the curent problems our soceity is facing. It's time to put out the torch once and for all, instead of allowing it to be passed on.

    To make the Trout pick by the Angels even more amazing IMO, is they drafted another outfielder right before Mike Trout, Randal Grichuk, who has also shown he can hit the long ball.

    A happy medium between what the owners and players have proposed and counter-proposed would be an 80-ish game season. I'm a diehard baseball fan and I will survive, even if there is not a season this year. The fans IMO that MLB has the greatest risk of losing are those fringe fans, who will look for and find another outlet for their sports needs, if one is provided. Let's get together play ball!

    I created a custom Minnesota Twins hat with instant Joe Mauer sideburns fattache don the sides for Halloween one day, and sent a picture to the Minnesota Twins and pitched it as a possible SGA. That was a few years ago, nothing yet.

    Jeter is a good choice, and I like how you explained how overrated he was. My choice for most despised (hated is too strong of a word for me), would be A-Rod because of his arrogance and steroid use and general *a**holeness. Boo A.J.? No Way! I would cheer for A.J. when he would bat for visiting teams playing the Twins, and thank him for the haul of players we received from San Francisco for him.

    My brother and I were at the game at Target Field where Park blasted a homerun in The Catch above the batter's eye. That's Jim Thome territory folks. Just couldn't seem to shake off some injuries though. I was very excited to meet him at TwinsFest his first year.

    What a fun list to follow, thanks for your work in putting this together. Very enjoyable.

    I go a lump in my throat just reading the words Goodbye Eddie? I've been a huge fan of Eddie all the way back to his days with the Beloit Snappers. I first read about him when he narrowly edged out highly touted Miguel Sano for the team HR title in Elizabethton. The outfield depth in the Twins minor league system may eventually leave Rosario the odd man out, but deep down I certainly hope Eddie is around for a number of years in a Minnesota Twins uniform. I love his enthusiasm for the game, his aggressive style (which can be maddening at times-I get it.) With Buxton's history of injuries, who knows what the future holds doe Eddie?

    Great list, this would be my #5 though. The 87' Twins don't win it without The Terminator. Prior to the start of the 1987 season, Reardon was traded from the Montreal Expos to the Minnesota Twins along with catcher Tom Nieto—for pitchers Neal Heaton, Yorkis Pérez, and Alfredo Cardwood and catcher Jeff Reed.

    While the prospect of no baseball does not appeal to me, the logistics involved to get it going may not happen in a timely manner. I agree with players having the option to opt out if they wish (I hadn't really thought that much about it before.) This is a decision that about more than baseball and economics; lives are at stake. As a fan, that's where it begins and ends with me. Even if playing in front of empty stadiums, for me the safety of players, fans, and workers rises above having something to talk about online or at the water cooler.

    I remember Scott Diamond had a very cool autograph.

    Great list, I had forgotten than Rosario and Buxton his their walk offs back-to-back.

    Excellent reads from the links shared above, keep your social distancing my friends.

    My Uncle Don always told us he would never feed those round bales to his cattle. He preferred that his livestock have a square meal. That being said, it's exciting to have the boys back, and hard not to be optomistic.

    Great read. I think PECOTA was a little tough on Byron with their .230 slash line, but I hope Buxton will prove them wrong and inprove on last year's numbers.

    The most extensive prediction segment I have ever seen on the Super Bowl, Love the sotiries and bios that went along with the predicitons. Would like to see the Chiefs win 28-21.

    I am one of Eddie's biggest supporters and I hope he takes some steps forward and improves defensively this year. Right now the Minnesota Twins have no one to replace his 30+ HRs and 100+ RBI in the minor leagues, so I don't think he's going anywhere for 2020. Beyond that, we'll have to see how much Larnach, Rooker, and Kirilloff are able to force the issue with their improved play.

    Nice...love love LOVE the Conan the Barbarian movie reference. Wheeler would have been a terrific addition, but geography became as much of a factor as the $18 million more the Phillies offered Falvey and Levine have had more hits than swings and misses acquring players and I'm exercising some patience to see how it all unfolds before I hit the panic button.
