Twins Rank High In 'Most Handsome Managers' List
It's a bizarre and meaningless list, but after last season, Minnesota Twins fans will take any positive news they can get.

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins lost 84 games last season and missed postseason play despite being in one of the worst divisions in the Major League Baseball.

NBC Sports published its "baseball's most handsome managers" rankings, and Minnesota's new manager, Rocco Baldelli, is No. 4. out of 30.
"As a follically-challenged man myself I may be bringing a bit of bias to this, but I think that dome looks fantastic," joked Craig Calcaterra, who organized the list.

Baldelli, a former Tampa Bay Rays outfielder, spent the past four years working for the Rays as a team coach. Before that, he spent time in the Rays' front office as a special assistant.
He took over the Twins after the club fired its previous skipper, Paul Molitor, in early October.
