Merry Christmas, to each and every one of you, and your families. Its an odd one, but hopefully you find it enjoyable.

- I look at an oddity of history that ends up connecting to the Twins franchise
- The inimitable Mr. Fillmore provides a couple book reviews and some more thoughts on history.
- The first part of some excellent analysis of Twins pitching, and spin rate in particular from JohnFoley.
- Zach wants to know who you think the biggest Grinch in Twins-dom is
- Matt ends his tournament of sadness. The tourney was fun, but man were those teams bad!
Twins links from other (possibly inferior) sites
- Okay, they’re probably not inferior. Let me dream though!
- Brad Hand apparently would love to play for the Twins, but isn’t sure the Twins want him. Pick up your phone and make a call, Falvey. At least find out what the cost would be.
- Apparently Calvin Griffith wanted to call the team something other than the “Minnesota Twins.” Do-Hyoung Park looks into this piece of the Twins story.
- The Twins signed a bunch of players to MiLB deals this month, including former Royal Glenn Sparkman. I love when I get things right in the simulated offseason!
Baseball links
- ‘Twas the night before Cubmas
- The Pirates traded Josh Bell to the Nationals.
- Old Friend Sam Fuld is going places. Like Philadelphia. Terry Ryan is there too, by the way.
According to sources, Phillies will name Sam Fuld general manager. Former big leaguer has been in front office for several years with Phillies.

- Tony La Russa was sentenced to a day at home, for his DUI.
#BREAKING Judge gives Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa one day in jail, commuted to home detention, as well as a fine of $1,383 and 20 hours community service.

- Yeah....
It must be nice to be a "Hall of Fame baseball person" and get sentenced to one day of home confinement... during the pandemic when we should all stay home anyway....

2020 wasn’t a great year for a lot of reasons, but lets focus on the positives today. What was something good that happened this year?
