My All Time Favorite Twins 25 Man Roster By remsteel on Jul 16, 2021, 11:11pm EDT 1 Apologies in advance for the poor layout of this post. I was going through the rabbit hole of old Twins highlights today and wanted to put together a roster of my favorite Twins I've enjoyed in my lifetime. I would love for you to share your lineup to full roster in the comments as this is purely based on my fanboi heart instead of stats. I was born in 1987, 3 weeks after our first world series title and have no strong ties to that team but grew up watching the recap video of the 91 series win. My...

The Yankees are dreaming of a future in which Trey Sweeney helps anchor the infield in the Bronx, selecting the Eastern Illinois University shortstop in the first round of the 2021 MLB Draft on Sunday night. Sweeney was taken with the 20th overall pick, having attended the Draft as part of the live audience at Denver’s Bellco Theatre. The 21-year-old wasted no time delivering a message t...

Can this team flip the script on 2001 & 2011? Share this story At the beginning of this season, I commented on how the 2001 & 2011 seasons could not have gotten off to more different starts. Somewhat oddly, however, both of those campaigns ended in roughly the same fashion—hope, followed by utter disaster (aka The Minnesota Sports Way TM). In ‘01, the Twins entered the month of August at 60-46, battling tooth-and-nail with Cleveland for the AL Central crown. Even after a 1-7 skid to begin the dog days, the Twins were just a game-and-a-half-back coming into a crucial three-game tilt in Th...

A look back at the 1997 Royals Share this story Photo by Mitchell Layton/Getty Images The 1997 Royals were a zombie franchise. The franchise that was once a crown jewel and a champion a decade before were now set adrift, without an owner or any sense of direction. The team was ostensibly in a youth movement, but seemed focused on adding veterans to prop up a Potemkin village for a potential new owner. The result would be one of the worst seasons in franchise history. The 1997 Royals Record: 67-94, 5th place, 19 games back Say hello to: Jay Bell, Ricky Bones, Hector Carrasco, Scott Cooper, Ch...

share-square-1078505 MINNEAPOLIS -- All of the roster chaos created by the pandemic-impacted 2020 season had one interesting side effect: unusual uniform numbers became more prevalent around the Majors as clubs dug deep into their depth to call up players who, in many cases, had those "extra" numbers assigned to them in Spring Training. In fact, baseball finally saw every jersey number from 0 to 99 worn in an MLB game when the Yankees assigned No. 89 to Miguel Yajure on Aug. 20. The Twins narrowly missed being part of history, as Minnesota right-hander Edwar Colina was one month too late to b...
