lol—just got Rickrolled by the @Twins' 1989 season higlight tape. I forgot that Focused on the '90s ends with "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley. Still got a little Space Dust left, so I think I'll watch Twins Win, the 1987 season highlight tape. youtube.com/watch?v=7j2v6q…
On This Date in 1986: With the Twins beating the Angels 5-1 in the bottom of the eighth on a stormy night in Minneapolis, a tear caused the Metrodome roof to deflate. The L.A. Times described “80-m.p.h. winds tearing holes in the fiberglass dome and whipping through the stadium,…
These days this guy watches most @Twins games from the press box. True story.
"Disco" Dan Ford had seven RBI in a 9-8 loss in Oakland on this date in 1978. It was the seventh 7+ RBI game in @Twins history. The team record is eight. Can you name the two Twins to knock in eight runs in a game?
On this date in 2007, starting pitcher Boof Bonser and relievers @glenperkins, Matt Guerrier, and Joe Nathan combined to allow 17 baserunners, but still shut out the Royals for 11 innings before Mike Redmond drove in Justin Morneau with a walk-off single.
Chaska native @bhand22 struck out Carlos Correa with this filthy slider to secure a 6-3 Cleveland win in Houston on this date in 2019. After walking José Altuve to start the inning, Hand K'ed Alex Bregman, Michael Brantley, and Correa. (Clip via @PitchingNinja)
Lou Brock was the Northern League Rookie of the Year in 1961. I have a note in the Almanac spreadsheet that says he homered in the first at-bat of his first workout with the @StCloudRox at Municipal Stadium on April 27th, but I think I've seen different dates mentioned, and one…
Happy 64th birthday to Steve Lombardozzi. He went 7-for-17 (.412) with a home run in the 1987 World Series.
Minnesota native Fred Bruckbauer gave up three runs on three hits and a walk before being pulled without recording an out in a 20-2 #MNTwins loss in Kansas City on this date in 1961. Since this was his only major league appearance, his career ERA is "infinity" (or undefined).
Inver Grove Heights native Michael Busch connected for an RBI-single in his major league debut as Dodgers DH one year ago tonight. He is one of just around 100 or so Minnesotans to make it to the majors since World War II.
Oh wow—here's something I haven't seen before: A baseball card of Minnesota legend Bucky Burgau. ebay.us/fMyine
J.J. McCarthy is going to like wearing purple and gold. Looks like he's already a @johnnyrandle93 fan with that face paint.
Jim Kaat pitched a two-hit shutout for a 8-0 @Twins win at Yankee Stadium on this date in 1971. Right fielder @TonyOliva6 went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and an RBI-single.
#OTD in #Minnesota Sports History (1961) The #MnTwins lose to the Kansas City Athletics 20-2. According to @Stoke63538501 Twins Trivia site, the 18 run is the largest loss margin in Twins history. newspapers.com/clip/100367451/
At one point, Bill Otis was the oldest living MLB player. When the former New York Highlander celebrated his 100th birthday in a Duluth nursing home on Christmas Eve 1989, Commissioner Fay Vincent and Yankees owner George Steinbrenner were among those who sent their regards.

Minneapolis Central alumnus Russ Ford was born on this date in 1883. In 1910, the 27-year-old had one of the all-time great rookie seasons in baseball history, going 26-6 with a 1.65 ERA and 0.881 WHIP with the New York Highlanders. He won 22 games in 1911, for a total of 48…
The Tigers beat the Twins 16-5 on this date in 1993, completed a three-game sweep at the Dome over which Detroit outscored Minnesota 45-10. The Twins lost big in Milwaukee the next night, too, making it four-straight games giving up 10 or more runs.
On This Date in 1980: In his first appearance in Minnesota since the infamous marshmallow salesman fight, A’s manager Billy Martin had to be restrained by umpires from attacking a fan pelting him with marshmallows.

@PitchingCoachU That a lot of people on Twitter think they are pitching mechanic experts 😂
I'm excited to announce that I am running for mayor of South St. Paul. I've been getting more involved in what has been going on in our city and have a lot of ideas I would like to see happen here. If you are local, please check out my website at markformayorssp.com.
@TwinsAlmanac @notgaetti My wife in the background trying to explain to the kids that it was a good thing lol
@TwinsAlmanac @StCloudRox My mom lived 2 blocks from the old Municipal Stadium and their neighbors hosted many players through the years. I remember her mentioning Big Daddy Wags, Leon Wagner specifically My stuff also shows April 27. 1st at bat. Also believe he was only Rox to earn a Sept call up??
@TwinsAlmanac @StCloudRox I can look. I have a ton of Rox stats from ‘47-‘65 buried somewhere. I do recall reading that date before and i know they traditionally started their seasons the last week of April. He hd a monster season with the Rox that year. His career high for RBI
@TwinsAlmanac @MarkJWestpfahl yeah, well Inver Grove produced Michael Bush and Bella McCauley! So there!
@TwinsAlmanac You had to go with Viola though until he was nearly dead. Davis was just a reoccurring nightmare by ‘86. I watched almost every blowup. Each one was uniquely painful.
