Walter Johnson, of course, was a star for the franchise when it was in Washington, pitching from 1907 to 1927.
Justin Speier is the son of ex-Twin Chris Speier.
Stine Poole was traded by Detroit to the Twins for Sal Butera and played in the Twins minor league system for two seasons.
We would also like to wish a very happy birthday to brianS' mom and spookymilk's brother.
Daylight savings today. What do you think?
[REPHRASED POLL] Would you like to keep the current DST system as is? (No vote = permanent time, one way or the other)

Johnny Keane managed the St. Louis Cardinals from 1961-1964 and the New York Yankees from 1965-1966.
There do not appear to be any players with connections to the Twins born on this day. It should be noted that, while Homer Summa is a great name for a ballplayer, he didn't homer very much. He had only 18 career home runs in ten major league seasons. He did, however, have a lifetime batting average of .302. Maybe he should've been named Single Summa.
We also want to wish a happy anniversary to the Dread Pirate and Mrs. Pirate.
