2388823, Call for Nominations: Patron Saint of the 2015 Minnesota Twins
Posted by Walleye, Tue Nov-11-14 12:14 PM
Remember when, in addition to being good, our teams had personality? Eddie Guardado ostentatiously adjusting his junk and swearing in post game interviews? Torii Hunter getting an astroturf burn on his mouth and making every hit-by-pitch personal? Aj Pierzynski annoying the piss out of whole rosters at a time and shrugging his shoulders to say "who, me?" Johan Santana walking off the mound *before* his changeup lands in the catcher's glove for strike three?

I miss being good more, but I also miss that. Think there's somebody on the present roster who is going to make the team over in their own weird image? Think there's some past player you'd like the team to look like, so to speak?

Here's the current roster, but all Twins past and present are up for consideration.

I nominate Oswaldo Arcia. His game seems to be based on outlandish homeruns and delightful no-fucks-given about opposing teams' feelings. That seems fun to me.
