Number 1 has got to be Bart. Those eyes look damn familiar. And 5 is Torii. 4 looks like Lew. I gotta think on the rest.

Posted by: Carmen at August 28, 2006 09:50 PM

3 looks a little like Cuddy(?)

Posted by: Twin-X at August 28, 2006 09:53 PM

I think 4 is Lewww, and 7 could possibly be Nathan. 5 is Torii
They're so cute!

Posted by: Melissa at August 28, 2006 10:01 PM

Based on what their children look like I say that #1 is Lew, #4 is Bradke, #5 is Torii, and #7 is Joe Nathan...

Posted by: bradkebabe at August 28, 2006 10:07 PM

1 has got to be Bart, I agree!
9 looks like Tyner to me...
6 might be NBP (judging from the "age" of the pic and that crazy expression!)

Posted by: Newton at August 28, 2006 10:07 PM

Even though #5 is quite obvious anyway, I think we'd all know that grin anywhere. ;)

I concur: #1 Bart, #3 Cuddy, #4 Lew, #9 Tyner. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that #8 is the Doctor, simply for the fact that there's a little bit of blond curly hair going on there.

They're all so darn cute!

Posted by: Spacey Stacey at August 28, 2006 10:16 PM

1 looks like my boyfriend Jason Bartlett, I think 3 is Jason Kubel. After someone mentioned it, I can definitely see 4 as Ford, 5 can only be Hunter or White, and even though I din't think Hunter started baeball till he was a little older, it doens't look like White. 7 looks like Matt Guerrier to me, 8 looks a lot like the good Dr. Morneau, and for no particular reason, I wanna think 9 is Redmond.

Number 2 is totally Luis Rodriguez. Seriously. Look at the little smile, the eyes, the cheeks, and especially the ears.

Number 6 could be LNP, but it is very hard to tell.

Posted by: AdamOnFirst at August 28, 2006 10:21 PM

1.Bart
2. LNP
3.Cuddy
4.Lew
5.Torii
6.Hell, that could be anybody. Um, Gardy?
7.Red Dog
8.Doctor
9.Tyner?

How'd I do? (I didn't see the program.)

Posted by: E-6 at August 28, 2006 10:35 PM

#3 - Moneau
#8 - Radke
#6 - Gardy
#7 - Nathan
#5 - Hunter
#1 - Ford
#9 - Redmond
#4 - Mauer

Posted by: JustJosh at August 28, 2006 10:36 PM

I saw these when this Twins Magazine came out. they're so cute! but I won't give the answers! I swear. I'll just sit back and giggle.

Posted by: kafumbly at August 28, 2006 10:37 PM

I also didn't check out any of the other Batlings comments before I posted. Some are obvious. Others, not so much.

Posted by: E-6 at August 28, 2006 10:42 PM

I agree with most of what's already been said. I think #2 looks like LNP.

Posted by: Anna at August 28, 2006 10:52 PM

# 3 looks like me when i was about 6. Really it's scary I had my mom scan a pic of me and send it to me and then had her check this out and she said the same thing.

Posted by: Paul at August 28, 2006 11:00 PM

OK, WOW, these are harder than I figured... So I will make guesses where I think I have an idea and leave the others blank.

1) Jason Bartlett
2)
3)
4) Lew Ford - ok, I am pretty sure about this one. He still has EXACTLY the same grin.
5) Torii Hunter
6) Mike Redmond
7) Joe Nathan - *wince* totally not sure here.
8)
9)

*SIGH* yeah, ok, I suck at this. I give up.

Instead, I'll say hi to the fellow batling I met tonight in the furtherance of my official duties - she takes minutes for my meetings!! YAY for BATLING friends in unexpected places - I think that was the highlight of the meeting.

Posted by: CapitalBabs at August 28, 2006 11:19 PM

wow... I'm glad I wasn't the only who didn't look at the comments before posting and I feel better about the ones that people agreed with me on anyway! yeah... But aren't they ALL just ADORABLE!!!????

Posted by: CapitalBabs at August 28, 2006 11:21 PM

My guesses:
1: Bartleby
2: Il Puntissimo, perhaps?
3: Kubes
4: Lewwwwwwwwww
5: Tor-eye-eye
6: Way too young. Can't see anyone's face there. Guess Redmond because of mouth.
7: Ol' Twitchy Nathan
8: Tough, can't make out any distinguishing features. Guess Morneau.
9: Why, that's a teeny tyner!

Posted by: Dongfang Hong at August 29, 2006 12:01 AM

1.) Bartlett
2.) Punto
3.) Cuddy
4.) Lew
5.) Torii
6.) Redmond
7.) Nathan
8.) Morneau
9.) Mauer

Those are my guesses.

Posted by: Will at August 29, 2006 12:02 AM

Wait, no, I want to change #9 to Kubes.

Still doesn't seem right putting together one of these things without getting Mauer in there somewhere, but I'm much more confident as Kubes being #9 than I am Mauer.

Oh, and #2 is freaking adorable.

Posted by: Will at August 29, 2006 12:07 AM

From Wikipedia on Nick Punto:
"He is also known for his on-field intensity, frequent head-first dives into first base, and his ability to calm his team mates by pulling cat sized white unicorns from his rear."

Posted by: hannah (the second) at August 29, 2006 12:16 AM

I concur with many here:

1 - Bartlett
2 - LNP... just look at the ears
3 - ???
4 - definitely Lewwwwww
5 - my Sweetcheeks
6 - I'm going to guess Gardy... otherwise NBP
7 - Mmmm... Nathanest of the Joes?
8 - The Doctor because of the curly blonde hair
9 - no clue

Posted by: Shelley at August 29, 2006 12:18 AM

#1 Jason Bartlett
#2 Jesse Crain
#3 Michael Cuddyer
#4 Lew Ford
#5 Torii Hunter
#6 NBP
#7 Kubel?
#8 Matt Guerrier-- look at all that shaggy hair! heehee
#9 Jason Tyner?

I didn't look at any of the comments before doing my guesses, so now I'll go see if anyone agrees with me!

Posted by: aussie at August 29, 2006 12:27 AM

#1, #4, and #5 are easy (to me). Bartlett, Lew, and Torii. The rest I have no idea...though I know I should know #8...something is so familiar.

Posted by: Josh at August 29, 2006 01:09 AM

And I think #9 might be Tyner.

Posted by: Josh at August 29, 2006 01:10 AM

Hmmmm, almost more questions than answers. Someone please share the answer in a day or two.

1 Bartlett (no doubt)
2 Could be...
3 Cuddyer (after an initial Redmond thought...)
4 Lew Ford
5 Torii
6 Santana...(left arm cocked)
7 Joe Nathan
8 Morneau (Big, blond, Canadian)
9 Teensy weensy Tyner

Is there neither Mauer or Redmond? So who is #2?? Doesn't look much like Redmond, except for that mischevious grin.

Posted by: Shanghai Twins at August 29, 2006 03:17 AM

Doesn't number 2 kinda look like Rincon? I'm guessing it isn't but it sure looks like him! There is no question in my mind however that number 4 is LEW!

Posted by: allie at August 29, 2006 06:45 AM

I've already seen the pictures, but this is a fun game. I wish they would have published baby pictures of the whole team.

Posted by: Rach at August 29, 2006 07:06 AM

My dears.

No one has correctly guessed 3 or 9. The correct answer for 2 is not the popular answer.

Sincerely,
Batgirl

Posted by: Batgirl at August 29, 2006 07:40 AM

I own the magazine, so I can't guess. I do wish we had baby pictures of all the guys, because they're just so adorable.

Posted by: JustBeth at August 29, 2006 08:02 AM

I saw this in the magazine, and squee'd heavily. Pictures of adorables Twins babies make my ovaries twinge.

Posted by: CarrieICL at August 29, 2006 08:06 AM

I think #9 could be Sideshow Pat.

Posted by: cd at August 29, 2006 08:20 AM

And upon further reflection, could #3 be Redmond? (I would have guessed Morneau, but that had been guessed further up so must be incorrect, since Batgirl says so!)

Posted by: cd at August 29, 2006 08:24 AM

I think #9 is Redmond, and #2 is Reyes.

(#s 4 and 7 - Lew and Nathan. They don't look different now, just taller.)

Posted by: QJW at August 29, 2006 08:24 AM


No way. #9 is totally Juan Rincon.

Posted by: TwinsGoddess at August 29, 2006 08:29 AM

I've already seen it, but I'll just mention that 1, 2, 4, and 5 were totally obvious to me when I first saw them.

Posted by: Stacy at August 29, 2006 08:35 AM

Right, try again for

#2 Crain...or little Luis (I still can't get this one
#3 Redmond (my first thoughts anyway)
#9 Gardy - it's obvious now

Posted by: Shanghai Twins at August 29, 2006 08:37 AM


1. Jason Bartlett
2. Brad Radke
3. Mike Redmond
4. Lewwwwwwww
5. Torii
6. Johan Santana
7. Noe Jathan
8. Justin Morneau

Thought for sure #2 was Nicky... OK, here's another crack.
2.Rincon (good catch, Allie)
3.Radke
9.LNP

Agreed that they all are cuties.

Posted by: E-6 at August 29, 2006 08:45 AM

#3 or 9 still have not been guessed correctly.

Posted by: Batgirl at August 29, 2006 08:46 AM


Is #9 Johan?

Posted by: TwinsGoddess at August 29, 2006 08:50 AM

Nope. There are some tricky aspects to 9.

Posted by: Batgirl at August 29, 2006 08:54 AM

LOL - I don't think anyone will guess #3 and #9 correctly =)

I think #8 is my favourite pic =)

Much Love
Wonder Woman

Posted by: Wonder Woman at August 29, 2006 08:56 AM

Is #9 Scott Baker?

Posted by: Chris at August 29, 2006 09:10 AM

3. Guerrier (Cheese)
9. Chairman ?

Posted by: E-6 at August 29, 2006 09:11 AM

Posted by: Brian at August 29, 2006 09:13 AM

1. Bartlett
2. Crain
3. Morneau
4. Ford
5. Hunter
6. Gardy
7. Mauer
8. Nathan
9. Kubel

Posted by: Ellie at August 29, 2006 09:14 AM

well i think that #9 could be garza and #3 will E. eyre

Posted by: CB at August 29, 2006 09:19 AM

Ok:

I will take my shot:

#3 is Gardy (based on age--its older pic)
#9 is Morneau

DAM

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! =)

Much love
Wonder Woman

Posted by: Wonder Woman at August 29, 2006 09:24 AM

I actually think #9 looks like Gardy.

Posted by: arcolala at August 29, 2006 09:27 AM

*gasps* LITTLE BARTY IS SOOOOO CUTE!!! I love the Baby Twins. They're adorable.

Posted by: TwinsPrincess at August 29, 2006 09:32 AM

Ahh. I see someone already guessed Gardy. Nevermind. *sheepish grin*

Posted by: arcolala at August 29, 2006 09:34 AM

My guesses:
1)Barty (by FAR my favorite pic...just look at that face!)
2)LNP
3)DJ Cuddles
4)Lewwwwww
5)Torii Ray
6)Gardy (look at the eyes)
7)Twitchy (Joe Nathan)
8)The Good Doctor
9)Assassin

Posted by: TwinsPrincess at August 29, 2006 09:40 AM

Obviously, my answers for 2, 3, and 9 are NOT correct. I'll have to look some more.

Posted by: TwinsPrincess at August 29, 2006 09:42 AM

2 I can definitely see as being Lil' Rod.
3 looks like Kubes on closer examination...
9 I've got nooo clue!

Posted by: Newton at August 29, 2006 09:43 AM

#9...Sideshow?

Posted by: jamar1700 at August 29, 2006 09:43 AM

Where can I get a copy of the magazine? Does anyone know? BG?

Posted by: TwinsPrincess at August 29, 2006 09:44 AM

I'm revising my guesses for 2,3, and 9.
2) It's gotta be Lil Rod because BG said that the correct answer for two was NOT the popular answer (LNP is the popular answer).
3)I have NO idea...
9)Scottie (because of the blue eyes and brownish hair)

Posted by: TwinsPrincess at August 29, 2006 09:51 AM

Somebody has now answered every one correctly. Ellie has 4 out of 9 correct, Twins Princess 6 out of 9, Twins Goddess 5 out of 9.

Posted by: Batgirl at August 29, 2006 09:56 AM

TwinsPrincess-
You can buy the magazine at games for $2 and it comes with a scorecard. I think you can also get them at the Pro Shop and possibly on the Twins website too.

Posted by: Rach at August 29, 2006 09:59 AM

I want to say #9 is Bert in the booth; but I'm sure they didn't have baseball themed baby clothes in the Netherlands...

Now that is tricky; #9 is the key other member of the 2006 Twins, "Batgirl". Note the reddish hair, and BatParents who wanted a baseball player enough to dress her in blue.

Arggh - out of guesses...When will the truth be revealed?

Posted by: Shanghai Twins at August 29, 2006 10:04 AM

Dear Mr. Twins,

I'll post at game time tonight.

Sincerely,
Batgirl

Posted by: Batgirl at August 29, 2006 10:05 AM

So #3 is really *not* Kubel? This is gonna drive me nuts! When do we get the answers??

Posted by: wc at August 29, 2006 10:15 AM

My guesses (and some knows)!

1)Bartlett
2)Rincon
3)Guerrier
4)Ford
5)Torii
6)Gardy
7)Nathan
8)Morneau
9)Baker

Posted by: Hrbekfan at August 29, 2006 10:50 AM

(1,4,5,6,7,8 I am fairly confident in. If you look at #2's eyes you will see a resemblance to Rincon. #3 has kind of chubby high cheeks like Guerrier) However, this is by no means an obvious thing as everybody has pointed out!

Posted by: Hrbekfan at August 29, 2006 10:58 AM

Rach,

Thanks!

TwinsPrincess

Posted by: TwinsPrincess at August 29, 2006 11:05 AM

Judging by the size, they all look like LNP.

Posted by: TCFan at August 29, 2006 11:51 AM

TCFan,

That comment just made my day. :)

TwinsPrincess

Posted by: TwinsPrincess at August 29, 2006 12:08 PM

I think number two is Crain. Am I right? Am I? It's killing me...where are the answers???

1. Bart
2. Crain
3. Nathan
4. Lewwwww
5. Torii
6. Gardy
7. Gurrier
8. The Doctor
9. Tyner

Posted by: Stacie at August 29, 2006 12:10 PM

9 Is morneau it's the red hair. It's faded to brown over the years but you can still see it.

Posted by: Paul at August 29, 2006 12:54 PM

A few answers:

1) Bart
4) Lew
5) Torii
7) the Veep
8) The Doctor

Posted by: Batgirl at August 29, 2006 01:12 PM

9 does look like morneau.

Posted by: Twin-X at August 29, 2006 01:12 PM

Guesses:
1. Bart
2. LNP
3. Dr. Morneau
4. Lew
5. Torii
6. NBP
7. The Nathanest
8. Not a freakin' clue
9. Tyner

I see that I agree with a lot of people on these.

When do we get the answer key?

Posted by: FH at August 29, 2006 01:14 PM

It amuses me to no end (well, at least for the last five hours), that Lew looks exactly the same. Seriously, you could put that baby out in the field, run him around the bases, whatever.

Posted by: cb at August 29, 2006 01:37 PM

To everyone who didn't read BatGirl's comment,

The answers will be posted at game-time tonight, so just be patient. You WILL find out who is who, eventually.

TwinsPrincess

Posted by: TwinsPrincess at August 29, 2006 02:13 PM

Whoever #2 is, he sure is a cutie-face! ^.^ #1 and #9 are also particularly cute (especially #1).

Posted by: TwinsPrincess at August 29, 2006 02:14 PM

On a completely unrelated note, you can vote for Matt Garza as the USA Today Minor League Player of the Year here:

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/minors/2006-player-of-year-voting.htm

Posted by: arcolala at August 29, 2006 02:15 PM

Would Scottie be Ullger?? Is that the correct answer?

Posted by: adam at August 29, 2006 02:23 PM

On an unrelated note. The Bo Sox are shopping David Wells around right now. With the holes in our rotation, do you think it would be a good idea to pick up the veteran left hander to help get us into the playoffs?

Posted by: bc twins fan at August 29, 2006 02:41 PM

I think #7 is Chairman Mauer...doesn't he look a lot like Grandpa Jake? #8 must be Morneau, as that's the same posture he has before he settles in at the plate! #3 is killin' me: Cuddyer? Nathan?

Posted by: Kari J at August 29, 2006 02:41 PM

New set of guesses
1. Bartlett
2. Radke
3. Guerrier
4. Ford
5. Hunter
6. Redmond
7. Nathan
8. Morneau
9. Kubel

Posted by: Ellie at August 29, 2006 03:03 PM

>Oh, and #2 is freaking adorable.

I know, Will, isn't he?!

Posted by: kafumbly at August 29, 2006 03:11 PM

1. Barty
2. Nicholas Paul Punto
3. Cuddy
4. Lew
5. Tori-i
6. Red
7. Twitchy Joe Nathan
8. Morneau
9. Tyner

Posted by: Erin at August 29, 2006 03:55 PM

I want to snuggle and cuddle and kiss them all!

Posted by: caledonia at August 29, 2006 03:57 PM

I am amazed that soooo many have picked LNP for number 2 - I know I'm not giving anything away because Batgirl all ready gave you a hint =)

Enjoy!
At the game I will be tonight!

Much Love
Wonder Woman

Oh - just an fyi -for you children of the 80's and anyone who belongs to the I love Ducky Fanclub - a special edition of Pretty in Pink is out on DVD today - I'm sooooo there =)
Thanks Batgirl for letting me announce that -=)

Posted by: Wonder Woman at August 29, 2006 04:07 PM

Adam,

I call Timothy Scott Baker "Scottie".

Caledonia,

SO DO I!

TwinsPrincess

Posted by: TwinsPrincess at August 29, 2006 04:35 PM

This is SO much fun! I love trying to guess which Baby Twin is which!

Posted by: TwinsPrincess at August 29, 2006 04:37 PM

My guesses *'s are my originals, others are based on feedback of others

1 bartlett *
2 rincon
3 cuddyer *
4 ford *
5 hunter *
6 mauer (just cause I think they wouldn't do it without including mauer)
7 nathan
8 morneau *
9 redmond

Posted by: Todd at August 29, 2006 04:43 PM

I giggled for a long time over these and I totally went on and on about how adorable number four was. =)

Posted by: Candace at August 29, 2006 05:29 PM

click on my link for a pic of baby Chairman...he's the littlest one in the pic. I don't think he's one of the twins on the magazine page. :-D

Posted by: Newton at August 29, 2006 06:21 PM

That just makes me mad that #2 was so hard--it's so bloomin' obvious now!!

Posted by: hrbekfan at August 29, 2006 07:53 PM

Lew's baby picture is hilarious, because he already looks so much like Lew.

Posted by: Kurtis at August 29, 2006 09:54 PM

pic #2 just confirmed my long held belief that jesse crain is in fact an elf

and in that pic of the mauer boys, billy kinda reminds me of my brother when he was little

Posted by: iheartmntwins at August 29, 2006 10:04 PM

I agree Hrbekfan...I am so disappointed in my one and only guess.
Anyone else glad that they didn't do this last year, wouldn't want to see Terry Mulholland as a baby!

Posted by: allie at August 29, 2006 10:06 PM

After tonight's game, coming back and looking at all the adorable baby Twins makes me feel much better, I have to say.

Posted by: Spacey Stacey at August 29, 2006 10:06 PM

Bartlett, Lew, and Torii were all painfully obvious. I would see Gardy in that little baby's eyes, the other ones I was completely wrong on. (I really really thought #8 was Cuddy).

Posted by: Maija at September 2, 2006 10:53 AM
