Best Minnesota trip in a long time for me, Vikes win, and Twins win (both big time!) in the midst of tonight's ass kicking started talking with the old man about "remember this guy who played for the Twins?" Fun game.

 

In honor, let's start a "remember that guy" thread for the Twins:

 

Rules:

 

-Name a guy who played for the Twins, no duplicates, let's see how far we can go.

 

-No hall of famers, all stars, retired numbers or legends. That's too easy.

 

I will start with two:

 

Juan Castro

Shane Mack

 

 

Now go! Let's see how far we can get without a duplicate.

 

If you want bonus points, list a stat, fact, memory, moment or anything you find on Wikipedia about the guy.

Mike Trombley.

 

Terrible player but I managed to turn him into an 24 game winner in Triple Play 99.

Randy Bush

Rusty Kuntz

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cesar Tovar. Played all nine positions. When I was a kid I loved the way Bob Casey announced his name.

Chip Hale, GPHoaT (greatest pinch hitter of all-time)

 

652 career plate appearances with all but 37 coming against right-handed pitching.

 

198 of them came as a pinch hitter.

 

(was also my primary pinch hitter on Ken Griffey Jr. baseball on the SNES)

Al Neuman

Twins legend Jaime Garcia. 

Shannon Stewart, aka. Drunken Peter Pan.

George Mitterwald.

Jerry Zimmerman

Ted Uehlander.

Rich Robertson, memory says he shutout the white sox twice to end the 95 season

 

Frankie Rodriguez

 

Matt Walbeck

OK...LOVE this idea! So will stay away from Smalley and Wyneger. Or do those two apply now? Lol

 

Mike Marshall

Pete Redfern

Doug Corbett

I can't believe Chip Hale was mentioned before I could brag him up.  Little lefty I wished I could have been.  Then Al Newman was mentioned before me.  My son has camped with Al, he is a fun dude to be around.

 

So I guess I will bring up two of my other favorite Twins:  Junior and Joe Ortiz.  Junior was good, Joe stunk.

Doctor Iron Mike Marshall.

Marty Cordova

 

I was watching a game and he did something wrong, I can't remember what exactly, but my buddies cousin shouts at the the TV "That's what you get for f***ing Jennifer* all night!!" I ask my buddy what that's about and he tells me that Cordova has been sleeping with his cousins girlfriend. 

 

*I can't remember the girls name, so I just tossed one out there that seemed about right.*

Frankie Rodriguez. He was going to be the biggest pitching star! But he loved giving up runs.

Eddie Bane. I was at his MLB debut July 4, 1973.

Rich Reese, who I met in my optometrist's office when I was a in elementary school.  The Twins had sent him for a vision test.  This would have been, oh, not too long before he was released.

Keith Atherton

Willie Banks

Bernardo Brito

Damn, someone already took #0 Junior Ortiz
