One person who will be
traveling and unable to participate in the show tonight is Twins pitcher Jeff Manship, but he did want to participate. He gave me his two
most memorable moments of 2010:
“My most memorable
experience from last year was the night we won the Central Division. We had
just finished our game and everyone was in the clubhouse watching the A's White
Sox game. Going into the 9th the A's had a good sized lead and Craig Breslow was pitching so a lot of guys knew him from the
previous year and were yelling words of encouragement at the TV. Also a lot of
champagne bottles had their wire removed from over the cork and a couple
bottles popped early before the game was done so everyone was yelling. When the
A's finally won everyone went nuts. It’s been great being a part of two
celebrations now, and I don't even have one full season under my belt.
Another
great moment for me personally was my first call-up of the year. It’s always
fun having the manager call you into his office to give you the news you’re
going up. I was able to experience that five different
times last season. I'm guessing I set a record for most calls ups in a season.”
Following the podcast, I
will post a look-back at 2010. When you review it on a month-by-month basis, it
is a lot of fun. It was an exciting year for the Twins and for Twins fans.
So, be sure to check out
the podcast tonight. Several of your favorite bloggers and media members will
be on the show, and I’m working to confirm a few Twins and Twins minor league
players as well.
