Alex's Bio

Alex Brown follows the Minnesota Twins out of commitment to baseball played without reliance on a big payroll that buys the victories. Alex is a consultant to magazine publishers, and founded The Printmark Corporation in 1984. She lives in a house she helped design and build in central Vermont, where she writes and reads novels. She and her husband Clarke have two cats and an imaginary pig. Her Twins blog is alexbaseball.wordpress.com.

    You are going to really love this, Alex. This might have been my best work of the season for MVN's Twins Killings. I enjoyed doing this too.

    I am so happy for Guerrier and even Crain.

    It's another site, but it's a good read. I enjoyed writing about Cuddyer. He has played well lately, and I wanted to focus on him, Alex. I hope you enjoy it.

  3. Hey Alex,

    I did an AL Central roundtable with fans from each team. Take a look on pressing issues of the division:

    Thanks,

  4. Hey Alex,

    Decided to start doing weekly MLB Power Rankings. If you get the chance, I'd like it if you took a look. Thanks.

  5. Hey,

    After the great success of my first article about the uniform numbers 1-10, I have come back with the next installment, with the best players to wear the uniform numbers 11-20. I hope you can take a look and even comment on my choices. Thanks in advance!

  6. Hey Alex,

    Justin Morneau is still underrated, and here's why.

  8. Hey Alex,

    People of my generation look at them fondly as the players they watched as little kids, people of other generations may just look at them as great players. I created a slide show highlighting the best players of the 1990's. If you get a chance, take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

  9. Alex,
    It is not too late to make a difference!
    You can help. Please give a read and "pay this forward" Some things are bigger than sports.

  10. Hey Alex,

    There was a touching moment in the Mariners game last night, made possible by the best pitcher I've ever gotten to watch - Randy Johnson. Watching history unfold inspired to me take a look at his incredible career and count down his five best moments, in my eyes. If you get a chance, take a look at it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

  11. Hey Alex,

    Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined ’56,’ and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.

    Thanks in advance!
