Week 10: Eddie Rosario


If the citizens of Minnesota got to vote for MLBoyfriend this week, I'm 100% sure that Eddie Rosario would be elected. He had a great week for the Twins last week with a batting average of .433 and a 1.394 OPS. He had six runs, eleven RBIs, and one stolen base.


Rosario is not a known as a huge home-run hitter. Last season, he hit twenty-seven, which means he wasn't even in the top fifty. During the first nine weeks of this season, he hit nine home runs, and he was on that same pace last week with no homers until he hit one on Saturday, June 2. Then, Sunday came...


On Sunday, June 3, Eddie Rosario hit three home runs--including a two-run walk-off--leading Minnesota to beat Cleveland.



Rosario is the first Twin to hit three home runs in two games. He did it last June also at home in Target Field. His parents were there both times. You might be thinking, "That's nice for all of them, but what's the big deal? They've probably been there for a bunch of games where he hit no home runs." Here's what's really wild: This Sunday was the first time Rosario's parents had been in the stands since his first three home-run game.
So, basically, the Twins organization need to pay to have them there every game for the rest of the season.


Congratulations, Eddie Rosario! With one big day, you went from an underrated underdog to being my MLBoyfriend. I'm sure all the Twins players and fans agree will agree that you deserve the honor.
