When my daughter was in middle or high school (can't exactly remember), a classmate friend of her's asked if she wanted to go to Twins Fest with him and his uncle. So she went and came home later in the day. I asked how it went. She said the kid's uncle seemed to know everyone and was always talking to people, really a popular figure at this event. Seemed they were treated really well because of this guy's importance. She had assessed he must have played for the Twins at one time. So I said, "Well what's his name?" Finally after quite a while of putting everything together, turned out it was Rod Carew.
