2021 Twins Turkey of the Year

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Time seems to have gotten away from me and it was only in the last few days that I realized it was that time again, time to pick another Twins Turkey of the Year. This years winner will be number 13. So far we have only had one repeat winner and that was President and CEO Dave St. Peter who took the honors in 2013 and again in 2019.

With the 2021 Minnesota Twins expected to do well and go deep in the playoffs by their fans and the so called baseball experts and then to see the team finish 73-89 and in last place in the American League Central Division you would have to think that there were more turkeys then you could shake a stick at. You would be right.

If I had a MLB Hall of Fame vote:

If I had a MLB Hall of Fame vote (which I don’t) I would vote for the following players this year. The players are listed in no particular order.

  1. Mariano Rivera
  2. Edgar Martinez
  3. Fred McGriff
  4. Mike Mussina
  5. Billy Wagner
  6. Larry Walker
  7. Manny Ramirez
  8. Todd Helton
  9. Roy Halladay
  10. Omar Vizquel

Good Luck guys, you were all certainly fun to watch and in my opinion worthy of a plaque in Cooperstown.
