Hall of Fame center fielder Duke Snider dies at 84

You'll never see centerfield played like this again...in New York...or anywhere else.  Joe, Willie, Mickey, and the Duke.

Another one of my childhood heroes from "The Boys of Summer" is gone. Duke Snider, Brooklyn Dodger Great, Dies at 84 - NYTimes.com. I also remember him doing color commentary with Dave Van Horne for Montreal Expos games on the CBC.

Twins exit in 3 game sweep again

With no Morneau...... and Mauer and Kubel going 3 for 20 with no rbi......that ain't going to cut it. They have to go after a stopper in the off season too.

If he packs on 50 more pounds.....he's Farva!

This is Twins Territory!

It's been a long winter......I can't wait for that lovely green grass of the dome....


You have to go to the TWINS website to see the latest commercial...but it pretty much is what it was like at my house growing up.....Thanks Mom..... she was a huge TWINS fan....... one of her last comforts before she left...she missed the 91 World Series by a couple months.

Now That We’ve Got the Names, Questions Abound

Whew! OK, now you can all just relax and read the whole actual Mitchell Report. I'm sure everyone will be drawing up a Cognac and poring through it tonight.
I've pretty much looked at the whole thing -- it's a quick read -- and I can say with 100 percent certainty that we are no closer to the truth about steroids in Major League Baseball over the last 20 years than we were yesterday.

How does Sammy Sosa not make this list? Baseball is still protecting itself.
