Thanksgiving at Gardy's As a new Thanksgiving tradition, Ron Gardenhire invited all of the Twins players to his house to share in his Thanksgiving dinner. He figured it would be a good way to celebrate the historically bombastic 2009 Twins season. Joe Mauer was the first to arrive. "Sorry I’m late," Mauer apologized.
