When You See This Twins Player Do This With His Hands, It’s A Signal

Since the recent fire sale from the Minnesota Twins, I can understand if you aren't keen on 'news' from the organization.

His recent kiss to the back of his hand, after hitting a home run in Detroit, was his way of telling his family "I Love You", which is a sweet gesture to think that even while playing a game, for millions of dollars a year, his family is still on his mind.
