Written days before opening day. Published much later, how-d I do?

There’s something special about the Twins MLB club this year. It was prevalent last year, but this year it feels persistent.

They seem to be uber-talented and uber-lacking in the star arrogance. This seems like a club that wants to play together, be together, spend time together and win together. That’s a lot of ‘ethers.

As I observe, what I think I’m observing, I think of Kirby Puckett. I envision Kent Hrbek standing with Tapani, watching Al Nolen flub a ball, and doing that baseball guy thing as Puckett hits BP and not one falls in-field.

There is just something about this club, this year.

Something special.
