Names like Puckett, Killebrew and Tarkenton bring about images of long- term success. But what about those with local ties who only had a chance meeting with the big time? Here we remember their one victory, their one appearance -- their one moment. Today: Bobby Keppel's historic victory. Bobby Keppel made his major league debut in 2006, getting six starts for the woeful Royals. He contributed four of their 100 losses (without a victory), bounced to Colorado in 2007 for four relief appearances (still without a victory) and didn't pitch at all in the majors in 2008. He made his Twins debut June 27, 2009, finding himself in long-relief or mop-up duty in many of his first 36 appearances. But what happened in his 37th appearance of the season instantly became a large part of one of the most famous games in recent Twins history, if not all-time franchise history. The Twins and Tigers hadn't been able to determine an AL Central champion after 162 games. By the top of the 11th inning of Game 163, they were still deadlocked. The Twins had already burned through seven pitchers when they turned to Keppel, who got the final out of the inning. After a scoreless bottom half, Keppel went back out for the 12th. The first batter that inning? None other than Clete Thomas, who made solid contact but was retired on a deep liner to center. After a walk, a single (with both runners advancing on the throw to third) and an intentional walk, the bases were loaded for Brandon Inge. During the at-bat, a Keppel pitch appeared to graze Inge's jersey, which would have forced in the go-ahead run. Instead, it was simply ruled a ball. Inge's grounder later in the at-bat led to a forceout at home, and Keppel struck out Gerald Laird to get out of the inning unscathed. In the bottom half, of course, Carlos Gomez scored the winning run on Alexi Casilla's single, and the celebration was on. A couple of months later, Keppel said this about the game: "What I remember the most is how relaxed I was, when everyone else was so nervous. I was thinking, 'What an awesome experience this is.' " Get this: 1) It went down as Keppel's first major league victory. 2) It ended up being his only major league victory. 3) It ended up being, in fact, the last game he ever pitched in the majors. If you're only going to get one victory, and you have to end your career sometime, what a way to do it. ~ 2 ~ Dempster wins by getting Twins to chase pitches By: Dave Campbell, Associated Press- 6/11/12 In the last year of his contract with the languishing Chicago Cubs, Ryan Dempster is a prime candidate to be traded this summer. Dempster was the one who was dealing on Sunday afternoon. The right-hander further raised his market value with eight shutout innings, and the Cubs beat the Minnesota Twins 8-2 for their fifth win in the last 25 games. "Whether it's making a start, getting in the lineup or coming out of the pen, you just have to try and make the most of those opportunities," Dempster said. After an 18-start winless streak dating to last August 11, Dempster (2-3) won his second game this week, another gem for this Cubs team that brought the worst record in the majors into the series finale at Target Field. He scattered four singles, walked one, hit a batter and struck out six, three by Joe Mauer, to stretch his scoreless streak to 15 innings. "It's good he's going back to the National League, I guess, after a performance like that," said Mauer, who had never faced Dempster before. Dempster lowered his ERA to 2.31 and handed the Twins just their third defeat in their last 12 games. "It was a good way for us to end a not-so-good road trip," Dempster said. Alfonso Soriano, who homered three times in the first two games of the series, hit another ball hard, a two-out double in the first inning against Francisco Liriano (1-7). Left fielder Josh Willingham had trouble tracking the ball, turning back and forth in the bright sun until Soriano's drive glanced off his glove. Soriano batted .316 with 12 RBIs and eight runs on this 10-game trip, and the Cubs won against a left-handed starter for only the third time in 16 tries this year. David DeJesus drove in three runs, and Reed Johnson and Starlin Castro scored three times each. Johnson reached base on 10 of 15 plate appearances this series. "We scored some runs for him the second time in a row," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "That was good. He was pretty dominant again. It's been pretty much a phenomenal run he's had." The 35-year-old has been the rock of the rotation for the reeling Cubs. He has allowed two runs or fewer in eight of his 11 starts and finished six or more innings 10 times. Dempster threw 38 of his first 47 pitches for strikes and dug deep when he did find trouble against a Twins team batting .302 with runners in scoring position since May 16 entering Sunday. Justin Morneau grounded out with two runners on to end the first. Mauer struck out to finish the third with a man on third. Ben Revere bounced out to end the fifth with two on base. "Assortment of pitches," was the assessment from Twins manager Ron Gardenhire. "We couldn't even figure out what one of `em was. Everybody kept asking." The consensus was a high, cut fastball he kept getting the Twins to chase. Ryan Doumit's sacrifice fly against Cubs closer James Russell in a non-save situation in the ninth finally put the Twins on the board and Jamey Carroll tacked on an RBI double, but they were too far behind to mount a serious rally. ~ 3 ~ "We needed to go out with this off day coming and get some good self-esteem on the team," DeJesus said. "At least we can go off feeling, `Yes, we got the game.'" Hartman: Health concerns for Morneau subside By: Sid Hartman, Star Tribune- 6/10/12 Justin Morneau's recent contributions are a big reason the Twins have won four consecutive series, but at one time the 2006 American League MVP wondered if his concussion and other health problems might put an end to his career. "[It can happen] in the middle of winter when you're not playing and you're sitting there wondering how long it's going to take or if it's ever going to get better," Morneau said. "But you just have to keep trying to stay positive, trying to find things to stay positive with and be able to go out there and play. If it's your time it's your time, and I've been lucky enough that I recovered and have been able to go back out there and hopefully it stays that way for the rest of my career." Morneau said one thing that helped him to be positive was his friendship with former Wild defenseman Willie Mitchell, now a member of the Los Angeles Kings.

(June 25, 2015) - The Fort Myers Miracle are pleased to announce that the 2016 Florida State League All-Star Game will be hosted at the newly renovated Hammond Stadium at the CenturyLink Sports Complex. The 55th All-Star Game in league history will be played for a sixth time in Fort Myers since 1985 and will be put on by the Miracle for a fifth time.

  • Major League Baseball's I-Team
    Major League Baseball’s I-Team The I-Team is composed of players whose names contain enough unique letters to spell the team(s) for which they played. To select the team, the all-time roster for each franchise was compared to both its current name as well as the one in use when each player was a member of the team. For example, a member of the Dodgers franchise would be compared to both that moniker (regardless of the years when they played) as well as alternate names, such as the Robins, Superbas, Bridegrooms, etc., if they played during seasons when those other identities were used. However, if a franchise relocated and changed its name, the rosters would only be compared to the team name used when each respective player was a member. Using another illustration, those who played for the Senators from 1901 to 1960 were not compared to the Twins name, and vice versa. Finally, the most common name for each player was used (as determined by baseball- reference.com’s database). For example, Whitey Ford was used, not Edward Ford. Franchise Team Name Players Angels Angels Al Spangler Angels Angels Andres Galarraga Angels Angels Claudell Washington Angels Angels Daniel Stange Angels Angels Jason Bulger Angels Angels Jason Grimsley Angels Angels Jose Gonzalez Angels Angels Larry Gonzales Angels Angels Len Gabrielson Angels Angels Paul Swingle Angels Angels Rene Gonzales Angels Angels Ryan Langerhans Angels Angels Wilson Delgado Astros Astros Brian Esposito Astros Astros Gus Triandos Astros Astros Jason Castro Astros Astros Ramon de los Santos
