"A couple years ago, he wasn't starting, and he came along pretty good in this role," Gardenhire said. "Maybe this clears his mind a little bit, so he's not worried about going 0-for-3 every day, and he'll come back and be a great player. He already is to me because he's so valuable everywhere you play him."( from the strib)
Scene: Nick Punto and Ron Gardenhire share a candlelight dinner for two after the 2007 season.
Nick (forlorn): ...I just want to be a great player...
Ron (reassuring): You already are to me, Nick. You already are to me.
Their eyes locked, the two mens' faces inch towards each other as the lights fade to black.
