Billy McLean was the umpire in the first National League game ever, April 22, 1876. He umpired in the National League through 1890.
Shortstop Ray Bellino played and managed in the Twins minor league system and also was a scout for them.
If I ever write a novel, I think I'll call one of the characters "Dalrymple".
Andy Oliver was drafted by Minnesota in the seventeenth round in 2006, but did not sign.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to DK.

December 2, 2023: Rain Out
There's a convention center right next to my work, and about 3-4 weekends a year now there's some sort of Anime, etc. type of show in town. It's a treat to see all the weird costumes walking up and down the street suddenly. Today the Furries were in town, but it was raining pretty good so everyone just carried their fursonas into the hall instead of wearing them. Man, that's one of the best ones to watch.
Happy Birthday–December 2
