Russ Hodges was a baseball broadcaster from 1929-1970, most notably with the Giants. He is most famous for his home run call on Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World" in 1951.
Ron Necciai struck out 27 batters in a nine inning game while playing for Bristol in the Appalachian League in 1952.
It may never happen, but Bill James belongs in the Hall of Fame.
For some reason it still strikes me as odd that there's professional baseball in Arizona. I mean, there's all the spring training, and the Diamondback have been around for more than 20 years. But the Twins have only ever played 21 games against Arizona in their history. And only 9 of those have been in Arizona. At least, according to the very brief research I was willing to do.
I wonder if that's the fewest games against the Twins have ever played against a team? Nope, not willing to look that one up right now. We don't even have an Arizona Diamondbacks option for our game log image... so yeah. Not a real team. Or at least only marginally a real team.
Anyway, tonight Smeltzer goes against Bumgarner, and the Twins are gonna win in the desert.
Hey, gang, put in your picks. And drop a list while you're here.
A less-than-triumphant return for "Minor Details", as all Twins affiliates lost. Sawyer Gipson-Long made his AA debut.
Wiggins. He has one. Good on the kid.

We would like to wish a very happy anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. texastwinsfan, a very happy birthday to Mrs. MagUidhir, and a very happy birthday to nibbish's newbish.
Pretty surprised I never did this before

It's happened a few times now, but Amazon keeps delivering packages to our office that are for other offices around us. Twice now I've been on the phone with customer service for 15-20 minutes for them to come get it, and both times the answer was basically, "Eh, whatever, why don't you just keep it." One guy helpfully suggested I could donate the items to my local charity.
If it's in the same building, I'll walk it over, but I'm not doing anything beyond that. I'll just add these two wired keyboards and three wireless (but not bluetooth) mouses (mice?) to the pile with all that stationary and the $120 desk we received.
