Jack Chesbro (1874)
Eddie Joost (1916)
Lou Brissie (1924)
Duke Sims (1941)
Bill Spiers (1966)
Ray Lankford (1967)
Mike Coolbaugh (1972)
Russ Ortiz (1974)
Prior to beginning his major league career, Lou Brissie served in World War II. He suffered severe leg injuries, receiving the Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts, but overcame his injuries to spend seven years in the majors.
As you may remember, Mike Coolbaugh was the first base coach for the Tulsa Drillers when he was struck on the head with a line drive and killed.
There appear to be no major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins born on this day.
2014 Game 57: Brewers at Twins
Marco Estrada vs. Ricky Nolasco.
The two teams venture just a bit west to continue the four-game set as the Twins continue their season-long attempt to reach .500. There's still a glut in the Central as the four non-Tiger teams sit a half-game from each other, all still reasonably close to first for their respective fans to stay engaged. Nolasco will keep trying to regress to the mean while facing Marco Estrada, who serves up a lot of homers but takes control by striking out nearly a dude an inning. I'll be at work, probably watching this as I wander aimlessly waiting for customers. Bring it home, dudes.
Minor Details: Games of June 3
Jason Wheeler and Adam Brett Walker II lead Fort Myers. A good outing for Logan Darnell. Lots of walks in the DSL.
June 4, 2014: Under New Management
Within a week of taking over, the new management at our complex has fixed our dryer and sealed the ceiling light (after removing the scorpion carcass). We heard there were "some changes" but other than the woman at the top, I don't recognize a single person here, and that's a good thing.
Happy Birthday–June 4

Game 56: The Minnesotas vs. The Milwaukies
Whoa, I'm shocked I got this one in on time. I'm in Manchester for two weeks, so I likely can't follow the team. But, my rental car is a six speed diesel, so there's that.
Anyway:
Deduno (1-3, 3.86 ERA) vs. Gallardo (3-3,3.56 ERA)
Dedudes and his zoomy look to avenge Gibson from last night against the first place Brewers at the swampy confines of Miller Park.
I made it to England and I'm fairly surprised by how often I'm running across terminology differences that are giving me pause and making me have to think about communications. Truly two countries separated by a common language. I also did some driving around between the hotel and the airport (because the Apple maps gave me shoddy directions), and I'm struggling a bit to understand where the left side of the car is, so I've hit a couple of curves on left turns. I've also missed a couple of gears because my left hand refuses to do what my right hand does naturally. Starting today I should get to actually see some of this country instead of just the dumpster outside my hotel room window.
Minor Details: Games of June 2
The Twins get swept. Alex Meyer pitched well until he didn't. Lots of errors for the DSL Twins.
