Set Notes: |
|
|
An
odd selection of subjects. For one thing there are no current players in this
set for the first time since 2001 ("current", as it applies here,
is defined as rostered last season and still with the team). For an- |
|
other,
one of the subjects had not yet played for the organization. Were there any
current players we would expect to find a "Herb" patch, in
remembrance of the recently departed Herb Carneal, on the right |
|
sleeve
of the jersey - maybe Gardy has one under his jacket. |

Notes: |
|
|
1.
The Gardenhire is a re-hash of his 2004 ST piece. |
|
|
2.
Young, acquired by trade from the Rays in late 2007, probably couldn't find
Minnesota on a map when he was chosen for Twins bobblehead-dom. He was an
impressive young (sorry) player thought to |
|
have
a great deal of upside and one can only assume the team honored him "on
the come" as part of the media blitz that was instituted over his
imminent arrival. |
