Pic of the Week

Josh Reddick of the Houston Astros is showered with
sunflower seeds in the dugout after hitting a grand slam.

Honestly, this week gave us two indelible images involving the Twins -- Fernando Rodney catching snowflakes in his mouth during the ninth inning in Pittsburgh, and Challenger the eagle trying to perch on the shoulder of James Paxson before the Target Field home opener. I've already used the photo of Rodney and the video of Challenger.

This one isn't as good as the others, but that's a mighty high standard.

Josh Reddick makes a diving catch, right?
Wrong. He lost it when he hit the ground, and
Evan Longoria got a single on Tuesday.

No commentary to make on this one. I like the moment -- the ball apparently settling into the glove, Reddick's eyes following it in -- and I have a hard time believing he didn't make this catch.
