Detroit —The apple did not fall far from the tree in the Gardenhire family.
Toby Gardenhire, who managed the Twins Class-A team in Cedar Rapids, is up with the Twins serving and learning under manager Paul Molitor during this series against the Tigers. He was asked if he tried to apply things his father has told him over the years.
And with perfect comedic timing, he said, “I try to forget all the stuff he’s taught me. I remember a little bit of it, but I try to forget most of it.”
When Toby Gardenhire looks into the Tigers’ dugout, it will be like looking at a photo from a family reunion.
