Byron Buxton’s first career hit
Byron Buxton's first career hit was a stand-up triple. Of course.
I'd bet a lot of money on Buxton finishing his career with more than one inside-the-park homer. In the meantime, here are the Twins' all-time leaders in triples:
Rod Carew 90 Cristian Guzman 61 Kirby Puckett 57 Zoilo Versalles 56 Chuck Knoblauch 51
He's gonna be a lot of fun to watch.
If you want a lot more about Buxton's arrival, check out this week's "Gleeman and The Geek" episode for what was essentially 90 consecutive minutes of Buxton talk.
