Stars?

A few moments ago, I saw a close up of the back side of a Twins player. I saw two stars at the back of the cap an the jersey. What does that mean? Is it to commemorate the two WS championships, just like the do in soccer?

Can't find anything on this.....guess you can't put up a pic....

No. I saw it on TV. But now I saw that not every Twin wears those stars.

I assume the Twin you saw was Cuddyer. Every all star this year has 2 stars on their cap and jersey to show they are an All-Star.

Shields, along with the rest of this year's All-Stars, will be wearing uniforms that sport the All-Star Game logo and two stars above the nameplate, as well as two stars on the back of the caps.

If you wanted a bit more confirmation.

Ha, Biscuit gets his answer and it's probably bedtime in the Netherlands.

Nice find, Baseballnum3er0.

I just saw this post. They mentioned something about it last night during the Astros/Bucs game while Hunter Pence was batting.

Thanks Baseballnum3er0.

Just curious -- why two stars?

Is it Cudduyer's second appearance?

When that is the reason, there won't be any room on Jeter's cap and jersey.

Not sure, but at least with the picture ESPN has of a model hat it may be just for looks. It also is his first all-star appearance, he has benefited in that way from Mauer and Morneau both struggling with health issues, although, I'm pretty confident that he'd give up his All-Star appearance for his team to be a legitimate contender again.
