But Dobnak, who started the season at Class A Fort Myers and made a stunning upward trajectory to join the Twins this summer, kept the wedding date -- returning home after the Twins finished their series in Detroit, and getting married on Saturday to Aerial Munson.

The guy in the Globo Gym (Think Dodgeball) attire on the flight out of Detroit, that was Dobnak.
He showed up at his fiancee's house in full attire.

And, finally, the champagne goggles from Wednesday night's title-winning clubhouse celebration made a return appearance in a slightly more dignified setting.
After an incredible 25-year career that saw him become MLB's all-time stolen bases leader and the greatest leadoff hitter ever, Rickey Henderson died Friday at age 65.
