No major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins were born on this day. We do come close with Hal Woodeshick, who played for Washington in 1960, but then was chosen by the new Washington in the expansion draft in 1961.
so ends the glut of unibroue and poutine; flying back home today.

Loading... The Texas Rangers have agreed to play the Minnesota Twins in a baseball exhibition today. It is my understanding that the Twins were once a major league team.

Yeah, I've used this one before, so sue me.
Culture Club: Well, I can't really do the alternative spaces justice today, so I'll toss in this plug for Magnolia Editions. Known for unorthadox editons and tapestries, Magnolia has had a hand in creating some of the best prints in the market today. Doc, you should drop by and pick up a chuck close or two.
Tough day for Twins affiliates. A pitchers’ duel in Rochester. Josmil Pinto makes his AA debut. Another pitchers’ duel in Fort Myers. Byron Buxton is starting to hit in Elizabethton. Joel Licon is a hero for the GCL Twins.

GO TWINS!
I went to bed early last night. I was awake long enough to hear Plouffe hit into a double play and the A's take the lead. I went to bed hoping I woke up to read about a thrilling late innings victory. No such luck. Given how three game series seem to go (win the first game, lose a close one in the second, get blown out in the last game) I'm not expecting a fun game this afternoon. I hope so, though.
