Holy Moses, this Liriano kid looks like he might be for real.
I’m going to be out of commission for a stretch, and I intend to spend some time during this hiatus trying to uncover another team in recent (or ancient memory) that had two such dominant lefties in its rotation. Ordinarily a handful of teams would come to mind, but I’m a bit brain-fogged at the moment and am drawing blanks.
Help me out if you feel so inclined, and spare me the arduous task of digging through my shelves full of baseball reference books.
Also, before I go, here’s a plug for a virtuous event coming up at the Metrodome:
On Monday, July 31, as the Twins take on the Texas Rangers at the Dome, YouthCARE (Youth for Cultural Appreciation & Racial Equality) will be hosting a bit of a fundraising bash to honor and celebrate the kids that make YouthCARE’s programs exceptional.
This event will take place at the Metrodome on Monday, with a pre-game celebration beginning at 4:30 p.m., and a 7:10 scheduled game time. Highlights of the evening include: appearances by Tony Oliva, Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, and St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman; reserved lower level seats; a catered dinner; a silent auction, and more. Tickets are available for $40. All contributions up to $10,000 will be matched by the Thornburg Charitable Foundation.
YouthCARE is a Twin Cities based nonprofit organization with a successful thirty-two year history of directing leadership development, multi-cultural, and educational programs and services for urban youth, 7-18 years old. YouthCare programs are designed to help youth develop the skills necessary to succeed in a multicultural community; encourage understanding, self-respect, and appreciation and respect for others; help youth make a successful transition from adolescence to adulthood; and provide opportunities for disadvantaged youth and youth of color to gain leadership skills.
