Joe Mauer received his American League Most Valuable Player Award in a pregame ceremony at Target Field on this date in 2010. After missing the first 22 games of the 2009 season with a lower back injury, Mauer homered on his first swing back from the injured list. He went on to…
Nolan Ryan spoiled the #MNTwins' home opener with a four-hit shutout on this date in 1979. (Ryan no-hit the Twins five years earlier.)
.@RodCarew_29 hit a four-run triple on this date in 1977, capping off a seven-run second-inning rally. (Carew scored on a throwing error). @Twins beat the A's 10-2 at home in Bloomington.
On This Date in 1974: In just his fifth game with the Cubs after being traded by the Twins over the offseason for fellow catcher Randy Hundley, George Mitterwald had the best game of his career, going 4-for-4 with a walk, three home runs, a double off the wall, and eight RBI in…

Concordia Junior College lefty Dick Siebert beat the Golden Gophers on this date in 1930, striking out 12 while issuing six walks, a wild pitch, and a balk in a sloppy 7-6 win. Following his 11-year MLB career, Siebert coached the Gophers from 1948 until his death in 1978.
The @Twins were off to their best start in team history on this date in 1968, beating the Senators 13-1 at D.C. Stadium to improve to 6-0 on the season. Harmon Killebrew homered and doubled in the game. They finished the season 79-83, seventh place in the American League. The…

Max Kepler is the only player since at least 1961 to homer in five-straight plate appearances against the same pitcher in the same season, doing so against Trevor Bauer in 2019. His three-home run game against Bauer on June 6 snapped an 0-for-21 skid. In the Expansion Era…
Happy 86th birthday to Rich Rollins, who led the entire American League in All-Star voting as a rookie in 1962. In 1963, he finished third in the AL batting race behind Carl Yastrzemski and Al Kaline with a .307 AVG.
April 15–16, 1930: After being out of the majors for five seasons, Albany (MN) High School alumnus Showboat Fisher collects four hits in each of the @Cardinals' first two games. Since at least 1908, only five players have done so (per @baseball_ref). twinsalmanac.com/showboatfisher/
Bob Allison hit the first grand slam in @Twins history on this date in 1961. It was the top of the first inning in the first game of a Sunday doubleheader in Baltimore. The Orioles’ Chuck Estrada—who had tied for the league lead with 18 wins the previous season and would win 15…

Fun Fact: #OTD 1948 the Minneapolis Lakers beat the Rochester Royals 75-65 to claim the NBL championship. It was Minnesota’s first professional championship. #NBA #RaisedByWolves newspapers.com/clip/99914148/
In college a man showed up on campus spouting unpopular/bizarre opinions. Crowds gathered. They argued, debated and laughed at him. Me too. Eventually I realized that giving the man an audience/arguing was exactly what he wanted. Maybe we should stop giving that man an audience.
And then Whitey starts talking about enormous amount of saurkraut he ate & the air- and gas-filled results for him. He goes silent & I’m hoping he might be reflecting on earlier questions on Series. Instead, Pioneer Press readers get this: “Damn, I love that ‘kraut.”
Whitey Herzog died today, an all-timer, and this is no B.S.: March ‘88, following Twins-Cards series. We’re standing in RF, as Cards take BP before exhibition. I’m taking notes & ask what he did over the winter. He starts talking about a trip to Germany.
@SIChrisMannix Wasn’t a problem for Ali-Norton at Yankee Stadium.
@TwinsAlmanac @Cardinals @baseball_ref I wonder if the family still has some share of it. Now I want to eat there.

An astonished Mike Trout looked up as ByungHo Park hit a prodigious 462-foot blast OVER the batter's eye at Target Field on this date in 2016.
@TwinsAlmanac Used to throw to him while I was playing at SCSU---he wanted to face left-handed pitching to work on things. He was the most humble guy in the world. Never acted any better than us D2 ballplayers....

@TwinsAlmanac Eisenreich is how my mom explained Tourette’s to me when I was little. We always followed him after he left the Twins.
Eric Milton got off to a heckuva start against the #WhiteSox on this date in 2001, striking out the side (including @TheBigHurt_35) in the first, and eight of the first 10 batters he faced. Milton completed seven innings, holding the White Sox to just two runs on a Thomas homer…
