I was able to use all Twins today for a total score of 16 points. Top row: Steve Braun; Molitor; Puckett Middle: Shane Mack; Winfield; Torii H. Bottom: Killebrew; Carew; Morneau Braun (.001%) and Mack (.003%) were my low scores with Winny (8%) the high mark.

I went all ‘70s today: Third sacker whose promising start with Twins was cut off by injury (2%) Outfielder who left via free agency to the Brew Crew (2%) Outfielder whose life came to a tragic end after leaving the Twins via free agency (3%)

I'm a little late on the response, but I went with the following Twins: * stalwart backstop for the Orioles through the late '70s/'80s whose career started with the Twins and I believe ended with the Dodgers (.4%) * third catcher on '91 world champs (behind Harper and Ortiz) who began career...

The VH-1 Behind the Music episode on the Sanders family is going to be so incredible in 5-10 years.

I got too cute hunting for a low score and ended up with 8/9. I was able to conjure up some fun names in the process though: Juan Beniquez, Willie Montanez, Joaquin Andujar, John Denny, Dick Ruthven, Jim Kern from the great era of the 70s/80s.

May's been pretty rough for me overall, but none more so than today--I took a stab with both Uptons', if BJ actually had played with the D-Backs, I'd have been fine, but given my scarce knowledge of that franchise, I dug a hole immediately. Regarding Gibson/All Star games, here's an old...

I went with: --catcher with a palindromic last name (.2%) --Cy Young award winner w/a HOF brother (.2%) --"ace" from the '82 Twins with a superior 'stache (.03%)

You know who's a sneaky surprising Tiger All-Star? 11x catcher Bill Freehan. Years ago I was looking through some statistics or baseball cards and thought, 'G'damn, someone named Bill Freehan locked down the catcher spot in All-Star games through the '60s into the '70s.' 10 consecutive years...

You made it further than me-I was done in by the D-Backs/Blue Jays back on the 5th.

I figured that was his brother--just finished a pretty strong sophomore season and has visits lined up with Ohio State, Nebraska, and Michigan. Hopefully, his last visit will be in Dinkytown :cool:

Watched this on a flight yesterday and you've conveyed the feel of it very well. I had an understanding going in to it what the setting of the film was, but it was still jarring to hear the conversations shared among the family members, the speculation of the grandmother if her former employer...

Would love to see your list...how extensive is it? Top 25? 50? 100?

I watched Barbie on a plane trip, as did my wife (we were in separate rows). When we got off the plane, both of our reviews was that of being underwhelmed. I watched it all the way through, but there were points where it was a bit much and while the social commentary is on point, it wasn't...

Another HOF'er for the Millers was 3B Ray Dandridge, who made his mark in the Negro Leagues and played at the end of his career in Minneapolis, never getting the call up to MLB. Not at the HOF level (except for name, perhaps) Moose Skowron played for the Austin Packers in 1950 and ripped...

Living overseas has made flipping on the TV and catching sports highlights a challenging endeavor, so my subscription to Apple TV+ has been a nice add with their daily highlights--it's strange packaging, as they just run a bunch of highlights, you have no idea when any particular team's...

It's so random--as you said, who could have predicted Moreland would have been your high water mark with 4 HOF'ers in the mix? Once Jimmie Hall and Landreaux fell into place with such low numbers, I devoted a ridiculous amount of time to the Ron Jackson & Carmen Fanzone squares.

2nd round of playoffs and there'll be no Lebron, Curry, Durant, AD. Likely no Giannis, Lillard, Butler, Embiid. Either Leonard, George, Harden, Westbrook or Irving and Doncic also sidelined. Definitely a youth movement afoot in the association. Are the Wolves ready to step into that space...

My Twins line was: John Moses (.05%), Willie Norwood (.009%) and Steve Brye (.01%) For the Angels, here were my Twins alums: Jimmie Hall (.01%), Ken Landreux (.01%) and Papa Ron Jackson (.06%)--I have to admit, I checked Jackson's fielding stats before entering his name, as I had a glimmer of a...

This is a day to feast on MLB grid, especially with the Twins featured. I was able to use former Twins for the entirety of the Angels row also.

How bout a Hannibal Lecter type set-up, except with movement from waist up and no constriction of mouth. Thinking outside the box here--it would really suck if he's unable to be a physical part of the rest of these playoffs.
