Apparently, the idea of playing for his home country in the WBC has got the good Doctor his groove back. Batgirl recommends the Twins change their uniforms to maple leaves, stat.
There was no question before Justin Morneau left for the World Baseball Classic that he spent a lot of time working to improve his offense.That extra bit of preparation seems to have paid off, at least for Canada, as Morneau went 3-for-5 at the plate on Wednesday in the country's win against Team USA. He hit two doubles, drove a run in and scored two runs himself.
