MINNEAPOLIS -- Players often speak fondly of their time with the
Minnesota Twins, and Corey Koskie must have really meant it.
The third baseman, who is leaving the Twins after six seasons, took
out a half-page advertisement in the sports sections of both Twin
Cities daily newspapers on Thursday -- explaining how the decision to
leave friends in the organization and loyal fans was difficult.
Koskie, a native Canadian, signed a $17 million, three-year contract
last month with the Toronto Blue Jays.
"I would like to take this time to thank all the Minnesota Twins for
their cheers and support for myself and my family over the past six
years," the ad read. "The decision to leave the comfort of a
community that we love and cherish so much and an organization that
we have been a part of for 11 years was the hardest decision our
family has ever had to make. Sometimes God closes windows to open
doors. I am excited about the opportunity to play for a team I grew
up watching."
Koskie continued to thank owner Carl Pohlad, general manager Terry
Ryan, managers Tom Kelly and Ron Gardenhire and all the team's
employees.
"Remember Twins fans, you put the Minnesota Twins back on the
baseball map!" he said. "This is a great organization, so keep
cheering and waving that homer hanky."
Koskie didn't immediately return a phone call Thursday.
"He is a character guy," Ryan said. "I think that was a genuine
display about the way he feels about his time here."
