Rock Cats: A Tough Week-Plus
by Twins Fan From Afar on 05-21-2013 at 06:19 PM
Just like their parent club, the New Britain Rock Cats have hit
If you're familiar with this blog, you know that this image
signifies that the Rock Cats are in the midst
of a losing streak
The Rise of Josmil Pinto
by Twins Fan From Afar on 05-08-2013 at 09:33 PM

Alex Meyer's "Rough" Start

Rock Cats: The First 2 Weeks
by Twins Fan From Afar on 04-20-2013 at 12:47 PM
This picture of Justin Morneau hangs in a suite at New Britain Stadium.
The Rock Cats do a great job of paying tribute to the Twins' greats
that have come and gone from this stadium.
