Minnesota Twins Alt-Slogan: You might not love our relievers on the mound, but you'll love them when playing Immaculate Grid!

Those '81 Fleers were rough. Maybe the ugliest, most basic layout I've seen on a card. They came around with better sets shortly thereafter, thank goodness. I read awhile back that Donruss and Fleer only received licensing permission late in the process, hence the rushed quality of their...

Aarrgh, Kreidler! I knew there was a Twins/Tigers connection recently, but I stopped processing after Caratini, Tristan Gray, Zak Kent, Luis Garcia. . .I was able to salvage the unique player category with the random memory of Sean "don't call me Dave, that's a different Tiger" Bergman who...

It's a bit jarring to see McDaniels on that list and Kevin Love left off, with Love's two All-NBA 2nd teams, his rebounding prowess, but you know. . .the T-Wolves never made the playoffs or cracked .500 with Love, and were miserable squads most of his time here. That's not Love's fault...

The Twins latest reliever, Luis Garcia, who appeared on my radar from nowhere last night turns out is a IG All-Star. 39 years old, he's played for the Phillies, Angels, Rangers (of course), Cardinals, Padres, Red Sox, Dodgers, Nationals, Mets and Twins. You might want to seer this into your...

I might not have the best perspective on this, as I'm only seeing the game highlights, but he seems like a liability on defense too. If you look at his performance from mid-June last year up to the point, it doesn't seem like he's a regular big leaguer. The occasional blast doesn't outweigh the...

“Bah Gawd, that’s Ope’s music!”

Twins alert today, seems like they’ve been popping up more often lately. I reeled in two new names, Thomas Hatch and Dave Edwards. As for the 100 RBI’s, I believe I’ve used all the Twins on the list, so I bolstered Gaetti’s status in the Top 20.

Kyle or Bob?

Reminds me of the OG Fernando Tatis hitting two grand slams in one inning and establishing a new record; never say never, but the circumstances for these events to ever occur again are miniscule, but hey, it's baseball, you never know.

What I've learned recently through IG research: * there are three Hal Smith's who have played MLB and all three played for the Pirates at separate times. Hal Smith (1955-64) hit a Game 7 home run prior to the heroics of Bill Mazeroski in 1960. * if a square appears with the Reds and "played an...

Yeah, Burnett's a classic mama's boy, all hat/no cattle type. As you pointed out, he was the shortstop and he was the one who suggested that Mitch leave through the outfield to spare the others (but let's be honest, himself). Not only is the smashing the beer bottle/being a lightweight theory...

Extending out your very accurate take on Mitch's genius level move is his scheming involving Julie (the sophomore girl): --bringing her into the conspiracy as a plotter gave them a project together, avoiding awkward conversation (such as Tony and the rising freshman girl) and as the plan came to...

At least with O'Bannion, he's not a bad guy to have on your side blocking for ya. I recall no redeeming factors for Carl Burnett. Similarly for Darla and Clint, but Carl's thru-line of shitty behavior stands out. From busting up Hirschfelder's good time to stupidly smashing the bottle of...

Re: Buxton, first: I have started to become awestruck at what a wonderful chain in the Twins history he has become. Inevitably the conversation around Buxton comes to “what coulda been if he could have stayed healthy” but his resilience to the disrupted seasons and rudderless management would be...

In absurd times, this slots in perfectly.
