It’s been weird to think about so little to cover as it
relates to the Minnesota Twins or Major League Baseball I’d have numerous
opinions and thoughts on the entire league, as well as the focal organization
as a whole, but we have few things in the vein of new developments. That’s left
Off the Baggy a bit light, as well as doing a similar number on go-to Twins
site Twins Daily.
Recently there however, I did write about a Minnesota
slugger we never got to see in all his glory with the Twins. ByungHo Park was
both injured and then ineffective when he traveled to the United States in
hopes of continuing his KBO production. It was a perfect storm of unfortunate
events and it never worked out for either party. Now back in his homeland, Park
has been the pride of the KBO power production once again.

Unfortunately, we won’t get a chance to see the Kiwoom
Heroes on ESPN in the first week of broadcasts. The network is broadcasting one
game a day and Kiwoom did not make the cut. For Opening Day central time zone
viewers can catch first pitch between the NC Dinos and Samsung Lions at
midnight. Karl Ravech and Eduardo Perez will be on the call.
I’m looking forward to staying up for the experience, and
any form of baseball is better than the state we’re currently in. It will be
interesting to see how the KBO game is received here, but I certainly hope that
it’s batflips proving a key component to defeating this virus and the boredom
brought on by it wiping out sports.
