He was rather the forgotten man of the championship Twins, and he felt a bit frustrated at times.

He was a fan of Christian rock music, though, and because I got nothin’ else I’ll post this little ode that’s been around the ‘net a few times.
You can tell the guitarist really just wants to cut loose with a big ol’ solo.
