Why does newest Twin C.J. Cron wear #24? He discusses that important connection on this week’s “Twins Hot Stove Show”. He also chats about a unique trait shared by Joe Mauer and Mike Trout, and explains why you may have spotted him at a Phoenix Suns game or two during the 2017-2018 NBA season. Then we catch up with the Twins’ new pitching coach Wes Johnson, who is excited to employ a lot of his philosophies which were extremely successful at the collegiate level. We also recall the Twins’ trip to the White House in 1991 and the reception with George H. W. Bush as we pay tribute to the late 41st President of the United States. All that, and our “What’s Brewing” contest on this week’s show.
