The brother of Rene and Marcel Lachemann, Bill Lachemann is a long-time minor league manager, coach, and scout.

Andy MacPhail, of course, was the general manager of the Twins from 1985 through 1994, a period which included both of the Twins' World Series titles.  He later worked for the Chicago Cubs and the Baltimore Orioles.  He is currently the President of Baseball Operations for the Philadelphia Phillies.  He is the son of baseball executive Lee MacPhail and the grandson of baseball executive Larry MacPhail.

We would also like to wish a happy birthday to Mrs. brianS.

There are no players with connections to the Minnesota Twins who were born on this day.

  1. Thanks, Padre. I am celebrating the Mrs's birthday by flying out for my uncle's funeral. 🙁

    1. Not a fun way to celebrate, obviously, but as you know life, and death, happen. You and your family are in our prayers.

      1. Thank you, and thanks to all here and elsewhere for the kind thoughts.

        hS was a funny guy and a wonderful uncle. I am looking forward to hearing stories about him from family and from his friends.
