I am a bit behind on miscellaneous facts, but do not be dismayed Minnesota Twins fans, I will catch up eventually…probably over the All-Star break –ha ha. Let’s see the last series I compiled fun facts on was the Twins Brewers Series so now I need to put together some random Minnesota Twins facts on the Twins Tigers series. It’s hard to believe that the first game of that series closed out the month of June, but it did and that leads me into the first fact:
…The Minnesota Twins finished June 2008 with a record of 17-11. The Twins historically do not do well in the month of June and this June was just the seventh time in Twins franchise history that they have recorded 17 or more wins in the month. The Twins all-time record in June is 647-669
…Joe Mauer recorded his 42nd walk of the season during the Tigers series and leads the team in walks
…The Detroit Tigers walked Carlos Gomez twice in a game for the first time in his career. I guess they wanted to slow him down
…Carlos Gomez completed his 20th bunt this season, he leads Major League in bunts
…The Minnesota Twins finished the series out-hitting Detroit 41 to 27 – way to get those bats swinging boys!
Stay tuned for more fun facts from this Minnesota Twins fan! Go Twins!
