Infielder Ellis Clary was a scout for the Twins for over two decades.
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.
Quinn Mack is Shane Mack’s brother and got 21 at-bats with Seattle in 1994.
Brad Lesley was drafted by the Twins in seventh round in the 1977 January draft, but did not sign.
Toby Gardenhire, of course, is the son of the current Twins’ manager. He was a player in the Twins’ minor league system, reaching AAA, and is currently the baseball coach of the University of Wisconsin-Stout.
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 and Brent Woodall, both of whom were killed in the terrorist attacks of 2001.
