An operative working for Team Batgirl has gotten an EXCLUSIVE picture of the safe where Doug Mientkiewicz is keeping the World Series ball. But we haven't been to able to discern--what else is in that safe? Terry Mulholland's body fat? Joe Mauer's rookie season? The One Ring? Aristotle's treatise on comedy? Jimmy Hoffa? Is this where Corey Koskie sleeps in the off-season?

What do you think?

One guy calling into sports talk radio here in D.C. last night said Doug shouldn't keep the ball "'cause he's a Minnesota Twin!"
Doug M. -- Forever a Twin in the hearts of fans all over the nation!
The best thing about this episode is that it will add value to all our Doug M. memorabilia. I can hardly wait to wear my Doug M. shirt to the Timberwolves-Wizards game tonight!

Posted by: Kurtis at January 8, 2005 09:23 AMI think it's where they put Torii Hunter's .300 batting average during the regular season.
So where are they keeping Doug's .300 batting average?

His .300 BA is being kept in 2005...remember, Dougie likes odd years.
Posted by: Stacy at January 8, 2005 11:12 PMAn article in today's paper states that Derrick Lowe has the Red Sox ALCS ball. He says Doug gave it to him and he's not giving it up.

I'm sure the Red Snots Nation will want that one too. Pissy little souviner hunters that they are, I'm sure they have every ball from every important game they've ever played it. Don't believe in sharing. That's the Red Snots for you.
Posted by: fmmiraclegal at January 9, 2005 11:18 AMWell if I peer into the picture of that safe ever so steadily, and tilt my head just so, I can (barely, but clearly) make out a picture of his former girlfriend BatGirl. Looks like he has a heart drawn around your face, BG -- he may still be harboring feelings for you. Let's hope Jeb doesn't go "Torii" on him.
