The Minnesota Twins struggled early this season as they attempted to retain their American League Central title, but they have since righted the ship and are now above.500.

Part of this could be attributed to a peculiar insulting ceremony reminiscent of an Upton Sinclair novel in which rotting wrapped flesh is thrown in jubilant way. Because it’s baseball and the boys are permitted to have some fun in the dugout, any homering Twin is lavishly rewarded after circling the bases with a little playtime handling of a sour summer sausage carried around by catcher Ryan Jeffers.
Baseball, correct?
Yes, it appears that we now have an HR sausage.

Over the weekend, Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli was asked what he thought of the development and, using some pretty fantastic body language, expressed why it’s both entertaining and troubling.
“I’m slightly concerned as, I’m not even an adult, but slightly concerned as more of an adult than maybe some of the people in the other room, that the package is going to open up,” he went on to say. “And it hasn’t been refrigerated in several days. And there’s little doubt that when that thing opens, whoever touches it is in big peril. There’s no doubt in my view that we’re carrying something very, extremely unhealthy for the human body.”
Look, Baldelli brings up some crucial points. And in a way that does not give the impression that he dislikes having fun. It’s critical for him to be on record with a warning like this in case that situation arises in a few days and half of the team is forced to miss an entire series in order to stay close to home. Smart move.
There’s a simple solution here: have a local Minneapolis meat shop sponsor this and supply fresh stuff every day.
