Albert "Happy" Chandler was the commissioner of baseball from 1945-1951.
Author Robert Creamer wrote a biography of Babe Ruth which is still considered to be one of the best baseball books ever.
Ralph Rowe was a coach for the Twins from 1972-1975.
Game 94: Twins @ Rockies
In the final game before the All-Star break, the Twins are about where I expected them to be: at the bottom of the AL Central and below .500. However, a win here today would close out the second series win and a 5-2 record on the road trip. I'd take that in a heartbeat.
Today, Phil Hughes is looking to pick up where he left off in Seattle. He'll be facing off against Brett Anderson.

I just got done with one of the best sales weeks of my life. Hopefully this one isn't a disaster in comparison.
