Fan-Post Roundup:

  • Minnesconsinite got his poet beret, sunglasses, and single hand drum out for an ode to the 2016 Twins. Worth it alone for remembering Danny Santana existed.
  • Asthix confesses to some of his superstitions that have obviously helped the Twins win through witch magic and the power of suggestion.
  • Speaking of superstitions: One of my earliest vivid memories is of my mom with a rally sock haphazardly draped over her head, bouncing me on her knee singing “Who’s gonna win, gonna win, gonna win? We’re gonna win, gonna win, gonna win. Who’s gonna win? We’re gonna win. Twins, Twins, Twins.” over and over like every 9th inning of a close game. I also just now realized I must have been like 10 or 11 and that feels embarrassingly old for that.
  • Anyway my mom is the best.

What are your favorite non-TwinkieTown, be they Twins focused or more general, baseball sites/publications? (I’m actually just selfish and I need to find new sites to trawl for link dump fodder.)
