FOXSportsNorth.com (Mason) pg. 11 Glynn picked to coach third base for Molitor’s Twins’ staff Phil Miller / Star Tribune – 11/13/14 Gene Glynn knew he might never coach in the major leagues again when he walked away in 2007 in order to spend more time with his two sons. But “I always hoped it would happen again,” the Waseca, Minn., native said Wednesday. “So today is a very good day.” Glynn, who managed the Twins’ top farm team in Rochester, N.Y., the past three seasons, was hired to be new manager Paul Molitor’s third-base coach and infield instructor, the team announced. In addition, Rudy Hernandez, an instructor for the past 14 seasons in the Twins organization, will be promoted to the majors to be assistant hitting coach. For Glynn, 58, the promotion comes just 10 days after he was passed over for the team’s managerial job in favor of Molitor. Glynn was one of three finalists to interview with owner Jim Pohlad and General Manager Terry Ryan, a factor that Ryan said was discussed internally “to make sure there’s no situation where that would be a problem.” But Glynn assured the Twins that he’s not disappointed to be a runner-up. “Not at all. I’ve always admired Mollie, and I’m really happy for him,” Glynn said. “I was honored they thought that much of me, but that’s over with. I’m not thinking about managing now; my focus now is on being a good third-base coach for Paul and the Twins.” It’s a position he has already held for the Rockies, Cubs and Giants, not to mention a season as first-base coach for the Expos. He’s coached under managers Felipe Alou, Don Baylor and now Molitor, all of whom were accomplished players before becoming managers. But after the 2006 season, Glynn decided to return to Minnesota and accept a scouting job with Tampa Bay that allowed him to watch his sons Christopher and Gino play high school sports. Gene Glynn himself was the first Mr. Basketball in Minnesota history, as a point guard at Waseca High in 1975. Glynn returned to the dugout in 2012, when the Twins hired him as their Class AAA manager, and he said he loved his time in Rochester. And that experience will pay off, he believes, because he has managed roughly half the team’s 40-man roster. Hernandez, 46, knows most of the Twins’ prospects, too, because he has coached or managed at four different levels for the Twins. A native of Maracay, Venezuela, he speaks Spanish, an important trait considering the Twins’ growing number of players from Latin America. “He’s well respected, and most important, he’s a good baseball man,” Ryan said. The Twins have designated him an assistant to hitting coach Tom Brunansky, the first time they have created that specific position. “Hitting coach is an exhausting position, with all the video and time in the cages and time on the field,” Ryan said. “We thought we could help [Brunansky] by giving this assignment to Rudy, who’s a very accomplished hitting coach himself.” Ryan said he has made progress on hiring a pitching coach, bench coach and the rest of Molitor’s staff, but “we’re not close to naming anyone as of now.” Notes • Ryan and his staff have spoken to the agents for “a number” of free agents during the general managers’ meetings in Phoenix this week, but “it’s always a mystery this time of year” as to how strong the market will be, Ryan said. “There are players we’d certainly like to acquire, but I don’t think anybody knows yet” about whether the Twins might be able to lure one of them. “We’ve met with agents and we’ve talked with other general managers” about possible trades, Ryan said, “but it’s very early yet. ... I haven’t been sitting on my hands out here.” • The Twins’ annual winter festival, TwinsFest, will be held Jan. 23-25, 2015, and will remain at Target Field for a second year. Tickets — $20 for adults and $10 for children 14 and under — will go on sale Dec. 11. TFD: Minneapolis set to rename streets, including Bud Grant Drive? Michael Rand / Star Tribune – 11/12/14 Interesting nugget from our former Minnesota Daily colleague Sam Black, who works for the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal: Two Minneapolis City Council members want to rename a block near the new Minnesota Vikings stadium in honor of former football coach Bud Grant. The street, on the 600 block of Ninth Avenue South, is now called Carew Drive after the former Minnesota Twins player. The city already approved plans to move that commemorative street closer to Target Field, to the 600 block of Second Avenue North. The city also announced plans to designate Seventh Street North from 10th Street to Second Avenue as Kirby Puckett Place, relocating that name from a stretch of Chicago Avenue that was in front of the former Metrodome. The Bud Grant Drive idea was approved Monday by the Minneapolis Planning Commission and awaits further approval next month. The city is also considering other sports-related street name changes to reflect the fact that the Twins no longer play on the east end of downtown. You can read Black’s full report. Could Twins great Harmon Killebrew be immortalized on a U.S. stamp? Paul Walsh / Star Tribune – 11/13/14 The image of beloved Twins slugging legend Harmon Killebrew could someday be on letters and packages across America, according to U.S. Postal Service officials. 2 Killebrew is “being considered to be immortalized on a stamp” by the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee, said Postal Service spokesman Mark R. Saunders, who cautioned that there is a long process ahead before any subject rises from “under consideration” to reality. Saunders declined to say how many different design subjects are weighed by the committee at any one time, nor is it known who else might be up for the honor. Saunders added that no announcements about new stamps are scheduled. Nita Killebrew is in the midst of spearheading a letter-writing campaign in support of commemorating her late husband, who died in 2011 at 74. Harmon Killebrew always made sure “everyone he came in contact with knew they were significant,” she said. “What can be more worthy?” Saunders said that efforts such as Nita Killebrew’s are welcome. “There’s power in the pen, so write [to the committee] early and often when submitting stamp ideas,” he said. The committee members receive thousands upon thousands of suggestions every year from the public, then “base their recommendations on national interest, historical perspective and other criteria,” Postal Service government relations representative Talaya Simpson explained in a letter to U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., a Killebrew stamp supporter. Killebrew’s 22-season major league career started in 1954, first with the Washington Senators and then continuing with the franchise after it moved to the Twin Cities in 1961. The Hall of Famer remained a Twin through the 1974 season and retired in 1975 after one year with the Kansas City Royals. His career totals include 573 home runs (11th all-time) and 1,584 runs batted in. The push for a Killebrew stamp is inspired not only by his success on the field but his character away from the game. “Meeting him, one would never know he was in the baseball Hall of Fame,” read a letter sent last month to the Postal Service by Richard Crane of Mandeville, La. “He was absolutely down to earth and unaffected by his fame. Even though he was at our home because of his wife’s friendship with my wife, he always treated me as a friend of his.” The list of major-league ball players depicted on U.S. stamps is quite short. Among them: Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Jackie Robinson and Minnesota native Roger Maris. Joining the roster in 2012 were Joe DiMaggio, Larry Doby, Willie Stargell and Ted Williams. Along with Maris, other Minnesotans so honored include former Vice President Hubert Humphrey, actress Judy Garland, football hero Bronko Nagurski, authors F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sinclair Lewis, aviator Charles Lindbergh, health-care pioneers Drs. Charles and William Mayo (same stamp), and civil-rights activist Roy Wilkins. Twinsights: Aaron Hicks released from Venezuelan winter team Mike Berardino / Pioneer Press – 11/13/14 Twins outfielder Aaron Hicks postponed his wedding in order to play winter ball.

  • Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees
    Academic Forum 30 2012-13 Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees Fred Worth, Ph.D. Professor of Mathematics Abstract - In this paper, we will look at which players have been the career home run leaders for the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees since the beginning of the organizations. Introduction Seven years ago, I published the progressive team home run leaders for the New York Mets and Chicago White Sox. I did similar research on additional teams and decided to publish four of those this year. I find this topic interesting for a variety of reasons. First, I simply enjoy baseball history. Of the four major sports (baseball, football, basketball and cricket), none has had its history so consistently studied, analyzed and mythologized as baseball. Secondly, I find it amusing to come across names of players that are either a vague memory or players I had never heard of before. The Nationals The Montreal Expos, along with the San Diego Padres, Kansas City Royals and Seattle Pilots debuted in 1969, the year that the major leagues introduced division play. The Pilots lasted a single year before becoming the Milwaukee Brewers. The Royals had a good deal of success, but then George Brett retired. Not much has gone well at Kauffman Stadium since. The Padres have been little noticed except for their horrid brown and mustard uniforms. They make up for it a little with their military tribute camouflage uniforms but otherwise carry on with little notice from anyone outside southern California.
