CLEVELAND -- The Twins responded on Friday to a story about a picture taken by a fan at Saturday's home game against the White Sox, in which there were just seven Twins players standing in front of the home dugout during the national anthem.
The fan who took the picture called the showing "unacceptable," but Twins manager Paul Molitor defended his organization on Friday.
"It's unfortunate that someone would [write a story] like that, given what this organization does to honor our servicemen," Molitor said. "Our pre-anthem honoring is probably as well-done as any team in the game.
