It's Snowing ...

So it must be time for the new spring fashions.

And accordingly, the Minnesota Twins have announced another new uniform for the 2006 season. The home version is sleeveless with navy blue pinstripes while retaining the current script Twins logo.

The new batting practice jersey looks a lot like the 2005 bp jersey, with the addition of a thin red stripe running across the front up the sleeve and across the chest and back down the other sleeve. There's a currently a picture on the Twins home page, but it's not included with the main article. If you want to take a look at the picture they had up, click here.

According to the article, this will give the Twins a total of six uniform combinations. The current uniforms are:

• home white jersey and pants with blue pinstripes
• home navy blue jersey and white pants with blue pinstripes
• gray away jersey and pants with blue pinstripes
• road navy blue jersey and gray pants with blue pinstripes
• standard navy blue practice jersey with either white or gray pants

Throw in the different caps (M logo, blue TC, & red TC) and you've got a total of 18 different uniforms.

While this may make the team more stylish on the field, it doesn't matter too much if there's no run support. Maybe they should have spent the money it cost to design the uniforms and added it to the free-agent spending fund.

Genealogy. It's all Relative

Genealogy is a pursuit where you'll never know what you may turn up. Or the fascinating things that drop in your lap. Some people approach genealogy wanting to prove some old family legend. Some just are curious about how their family got to where it is. And others, well, some others want to see what they can get from someone. Once upon a time, not very long ago, a man came in to the Family History Library and wanted to trace the descendants of a European royal (any royal, pick one -- no kidding!) to see if he was a descendant. We explained it was easier to go backwards from your self and see where you connect up. He didn't like that answer, and I don't think he ever came back. Someone once said the easiest way to trace your family history is to run for office. There's a lot of truth in that old chestnut. So the other day I was glancing through the online Deseret News and noticed an article about Mitt Romney and his LDS roots. As I was reading the article, I cam

What's In A Name?

In this case, nothing really. It's just that TBWAIN is more interesting than Jeff Svare's Blog . The content isn't going to change, 'cuz it's my blog. But the name was dull. Boring. Unimaginative. And, I was tired of it. Next week, I'm going to the Computers in Libraries Conference in Washington, D.C. It's always a great conference, and I feel really fortunate that I'm able to go again. It's a real idea factory, and I always come away recharged with new ideas. This year I'm hoping to get a chance to further discuss content management ideas for libraries and information organizations. The unofficial wiki for the conference has some good stuff posted. Lots of seasoned conference-goers have shared their insights on how to help your conference experience be a great one.

The Top 40 Twins of All Time

No, this list doesn't include the two I know in Wisconsin. :-) Over at Aaron Gleeman's Blog he's working on a list of the top 40 Minnesota Twins. Since it's just plays who wore a Twins uniform, and only their performance as a Twins counts, you won't see Jack Morris or Walter Johnson on the list. The list starts with Randy Bush as #40. I wonder where Harmon Killebrew , Tony Oliva , Bert Blyleven , and Jim Kaat will finish up. I'll be paying attention to his list.
