I confess that I’ve not seen either of the musical films, but I gotta have heart and track them down.

Am I the only baseball fan who doesn't really "get" Field of Dreams?

I agree with the Killebrew and Vic Power takes, but there was ANOTHER Twins 1B-man who hit left handed and threw right handed. He just came up as a 2B-man. That guy was Rod Carew. One small correction I'll point out: You have Mauer and Morneau BOTH winning the MVP in 2006. Morneau was the 2006 winner. Mauer won in 2009 when he hit .365 with 28 HR's. I also think Kiriloff is destined to be a 1B-man who occasionally plays a corner OF spot. He's our best player there. Sano is destined to be our DH most of the time who occasionally plays 1B. I think Kiriloff could be a sneaky good fantasy baseball selection next year in the later rounds. Not sure if he'll be a 1B-man exclusively or also have some OF eligibility but I think he's ready to break out. If the lockout continues, Kiriloff should jump to the Wild and skate on the same line as Kaprisov.

I had to 'clear the mechanism' and reread this. It is absolutely fantastic, especially some of the extra little notes that really make it. Twins scout Jack Powell is also in Trouble with the Curve. I'd have to include him. The first baseman/mom's boyfriend in Little Big League has to be considered.... And that team's shortstop was Kevin Elster, so he has to be considered, as does former Saints hitter Leon "Bull" Durham. I was going to say Jim Morris as a lefty-reliever, but he's real.
