all the unforgettable moments from on the field and in the locker room,
including stories of Kirby Puckett, Tom Brunansky, Tom Kelly, Harmon
Killibrew, and more.

ballpark that he can see the stadium lights from his front yard. He
pretends to be the team's star during neighborhood ball games and
fantasizes about one day playing for his hometown team. Stop imagining.
Kent Hrbek made those childhood dreams come true.

child. It is a fairytale story. But it's only one part of this newly
revised edition of Tales From the Minnesota Twins Dugout. Within these
