As you know, Team Batgirl sent some photographers along with select Twins to find out how they spent their All-Star Break. Our second group just reported in, and we thought you might be interested in what they found.
Joe Mauer
The newly appointed Chairman Mauer used the break to catch up with his high school buddies--at Valley Fair! He got in for half-price, though he still isn't quite tall enough for the Tower of Power.
Man, that Corkscrew is Rad!
Johan Santana
After spending the first days of his break building houses single-handedly for Habitat for Humanity, Johan decided to move on to the needs of our four-legged friends. He spent Wednesday at his local vet, offering free locator chip installation for area pets.
There. Now you never have to get lost again, Mr. Pickles!
J.C. Romero
We all know J.C. Romero--who, in a car commercial last year declared that he "grabs life by the horns" by reading--is a big booklover, and this year, he decided to join the country's other ambassador of books for a very special book club. They tried to keep their talk serious, but sometimes things did get a little giggly.
You go, Anna Karenina! You GO!
Juan Boo Berry Rincon
It's been a trying year for poor Juan, what with all the changes in the bullpen. And something inside him has changed, too. He needs more than he used to--and, frankly, he's not ashamed to need. It's just that sometimes, the other guys don't understand. That's why he found himself in a two-day intensive Relievers Who Love Too Much Support Group. Apparently he found it quite helpful.
J.C. just doesn't cuddle like he used to!
Henry Blanco
After spending much of the year trying to prove his blazing speed, attempting to steal bases, stretch singles into doubles, and doubles into triples, Henry Blanco thought he might show his stuff at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field trials.
Alas, he did not place.
Soon, I'll really hit my stride!
