Twins Birthdays--August 7

Also posted at wgom.org     Ron Henry (1936) Gary Dotter (1942) Mike Poepping (1950) Danny Graves (1973)     Catcher Ronald Baxter Henry played for the Twins in 1961 and again in 1964. He was born in Chester, Pennsylvania and began his professional career in 1954 with independent Class C Boise. He went to the Milwaukee Braves’ system in 1955 and stayed there six years. He looked like a pretty good player, really; he hit over .300 twice, and had double-digit home runs three times. Still, the

The Miguel Sano Quandry

If I told you he had some pop in his bat, and a good arm from the left side of the infield

Twins Birthdays--August 6

Also posted at wgom.org   Ron Davis (1955) Chris Heintz (1974)   Right-handed reliever Ronald Gene Davis pitched for the Twins from 1982-1986. Born and raised in Houston, he was drafted by the Cubs in the third round in the January draft in 1976. He was a starter in the minors, and a rather mediocre one, but did substantially better when moved to the bullpen in 1978. What prompted the move was Davis’ trade to the Yankees in June of 1978 for Ken Holtzman. He appeared briefly with the Yankees

A-Rod: Baseball's A-hole Boyfriend

I rooted for Nick Blackburn and Tsuyoshi Nishioka to make a comeback when they were as unpopular as they could possibly be, I defended Joe Mauer through the public vitriol that surrounded his

Monday Morning Madness - August 5, 2013

Originally posted at Kevin Slowey was Framed!   We can finally put the "could the Twins even beat a AAA team" jokes to bed. They can. The Astros are pathetic, even if their rebuild strategy is being lauded by many. While that strategy might work out long-term, the current team is rotten and I can't even imagine being an Astros fan right now. At least the Twins have a couple players worth watching while they flail. Anyway, the Twins rebounded nicely after the Royals series and if that matter

Twins on Twitter - Early August Edition

It's been about six weeks since the last time we updated the list of Minnesota Twins or minor league related players and personnel. If you're on Twitter, here is a list of nearly 170 people that you should consider following. Most of them are players, but we also have the Twitter accounts of the Twins front office personnel, minor league media and more.   Most important, I encourage you to let me know if anyone is missing from this list. I'd love for it to be complete, but I'm certain that I wi

A Nice Day at Target Field

My best friend from high school and me stay in touch but seldom see each other. We decided we would attend a game sometime this summer and he called me last week telling me that he had tickets given to him to see the Astros--yes! The Astros--today. We met and had lunch and then attended the game. The weather was pleasant (mid 70s and mostly cloudy) and the Twins should certainly have had a chance since they were playing the worst team in mlb.   The Twins did prevail 3-2 and the crowd was

The Astros Playin' (Twins versus Astros - Games 105-107)

Road Goes On Forever (Twins 4 Astros 3– Game 105)   Left a great time at Diversicon, a science fiction and fantasy convention, to find the Twins were still playing. The game was tug of war, and the rag tied onto the rope was still in the middle of the mudpit in the center.   I’d spent the day with my mind wrapped around the business of writing the unreal and then bringing it to life (for more on my life out from under the baseball cap, click here). Listening to good old fashioned baseball soothe

Twins Birthdays--August 4

Also posted at wgom.org   Frank Kostro (1937) Matt Merullo (1965) Eric Milton (1975)     Infielder/outfielder Frank Jerry Kostro played for the Twins from 1964-65 and 1967-1969. He was born in Windber, Pennsylvania, went to high school in Pittsburgh, and signed with Detroit as a free agent in 1956. He was generally a high-average hitter without a lot of power in the minors. He hit .332 at Class D Jamestown in 1956, then settled in as a guy who would hit about .270-.290 at pretty much every le
