James Dunn was the owner of the Cleveland Indians from 1916-1922.
Infielder Ellis Clary was a scout for the Twins for over two decades.
Luis Garcia is a member of both the Venezuelan Hall of Fame and the Caribbean Hall of Fame.
Actor Scott Patterson, best known for his role on The Gilmore Girls, was a minor league pitcher for seven seasons, pitching 373 AAA innings but not reaching the majors. He was in the Yankees and Braves systems.
Brad "the Animal" Lesley was drafted by the Twins in the seventh round of the 1977 January draft, but did not sign.
Quinn Mack is Shane Mack’s brother and got 21 at-bats with Seattle in 1994.
Toby Gardenhire, of course, is the son of the former Twins’ manager. He was a player in the Twins’ minor league system, reaching AAA, and is the manager of the St. Paul Saints.
We also want to wish a very happy birthday to Rhubarb_Runner.
Additionally, it seems appropriate on this day to mention former minor league players Marty Boryczewski, Ralph Scorca, Mike Weinberg, and Brent Woodall, all of whom were killed in the terrorist attacks of 2001.

An offensive explosion in St. Paul. Jordan Gore keeps getting 'em out. A fine game by Cody Laweryson. Rain was the winner in Fort Myers.

Dots Miller’s given name was John. He got the nickname “Dots” because when he first came up, a sportswriter asked teammate Honus Wagner who the new guy was. Wagner, in his thick German accent, said, “Dot’s Miller.”
Hugh Mulcahy has one of the worst nicknames in the history of baseball. In four seasons as a starting pitcher for the Phillies, he twice led the league in losses. He went 45-89 for his career, leading to the nickname “Losing Pitcher Mulcahy”.
The brother of Phil Roof, Paul Roof was a pitcher for four seasons in the Braves’ system, never going higher than Class A. He was actually on the Braves' major league roster as a September call-up in 1961, but did not appear in a game.
