There do not appear to be any players with connections to the Minnesota Twins who were born on this day. The closest we come is Gene Roof, whose brother, Phil, played for the Twins. We would, however, like to wish a happy birthday to a certain Dread Pirate.

Mexican Matchups: Games of 1/11
No games were played in the Mexican League playoffs, as it was an off day between the first round and the second round. We now know that Obregon is the losing team that gets to advance anyway, although I still don’t know how this was determined. The matchups for the second round, which begins today, are Obregon v. Culiacan and Mexicali v. Guasave.
