Congratulations to Trevor and Olivia Plouffe on their wedding day! Here's to a long and happy marriage to both of them.

Just saw today that Pelfrey and Gardenhire have displays next to each other at the Kansas Baseball Hall of Fame. Once together, always together.

Jim Thome Speaks Softly shirt seen (blurred out for copyright reasons?) on How the States Got Their Shapes. Anyone want to fess up to meeting Brian Unger and agreeing that Texas would look at itself in the mirror all day if it could?

Merry Christmas from Justin Morneau and his family! (Sorry but this image from his official Facebook page was too adorable not to share!)

The Minnesota Wild's Josh Harding is a big Twins fan. So much so, his new mask includes Target Field. It's awesome. (If you want to see the rest of the mask, and Niklas Backstrom's, come on over to Hockey WIlderness, home of the rocked out lock out.)

Joe Nathan wearing a Cowboys jersey because of a lost bet (full story here.) Knowing that Nathan hates the Cowboys makes him inestimably cooler, in my eyes.

Must be good works week. Yesterday was Joe at a hospital, today it's Justin at a veterans home. From Twins Director of Community Relations: Renovated #HomelessVeterans housing in #mpls named for @JustinMorneau today. @twins slugger contributed to the project.

From the Twins Community Relations Director: Today @Twins catcher Joe Mauer and his fiancé opened a new sports-themed playroom at @gillettechildrn hospital Gillette Childrens Hospital posted the picture.
