May 29, 20206 yr Deadspin is terrible now, but it used to be somebody. The old, good Deadspin ran a segment called Let’s Remember Some Guys, wherein they would open a pack of old baseball cards and remember some guys. Like Steve Jeltz. Steve Jeltz!Since everything is objectively terrible, and we are sorely lacking in dumb sporting events to distract from how objectively terrible everything is, I’m going to remember some Minnesota Twins off the top of my head. They are not ranked in order of preference or ability or grit or hustle or WAR. They are listed in the order I remembered them after three beers while sirens wailed in the St. Paul night. I hope this helps you in some way, because it sort of helped me.Jarvis BrownDave GoltzPaul ThormodsgardRob WilfongMike MaksudianScott StahoviakHouston JimenezDoug CorbettTom NietoHosken PowellWillie NorwoodGeoff ZahnGlenn AdamsDave EngleButch HuskeyJoe CredeDave HollinsRick SofieldLenny FaedoMike CubbageKeith AthertonFrank PastoreCraig KusickDavid WestKenny LandreauxWillie BanksKen SchromRusty KuntzGary WardMatt LawtonTodd SearsMichael RestovichEric SoderholmSteve BryeDisco Danny FordBombo RiveraMidre CummingsChris LathamMark PortugalNeal HeatonAndre DavidJason PridieJesus VegaGerman GonzalezShane RawleyAnd last but certainly not least, Dan NaultyIf you want to remember some Twins, please leave their names in the comments.

May 29, 20206 yr Good Old What's His NameWait, Wait, It's Right On The Tip Of My TongueWhatchamahoozy Those are the three players who come to mind right now. One of them played center, didn't he? Unless it was short.
May 29, 20206 yr Oh, sure, I'll play. Joe "Emory Board" Niekro Doug Mientkwzrzchzwskch (I refuse to look up the proper spelling, but everyone knows who I mean and remembers his glove work) Jose Morales, pinch-hitter extraordinaire. Chip Hale, pinch-hitter extraordinaire, part 2. Butch Wynegar Mike Cubbage Shannon Stewart...saved a season...what a great trade that turned out to be. Bobby Kielty Don Baylor Christian Guzman. Never became as good as we hoped he would be, but boy it was fun to watch him run when he hit one into the gap.
