Today marks Delmon Young Day around the Twins Blogosphere.

I’m not sure if it’s coincidence or not, but Delmon Young Day falls on the same day — May 12 — that he left the ball club in 2009 to tend to his ailing mother, Bonnie, who eventually passed away from cancer.

I had a chance to catch up with Delmon, and a couple others, after the Twins’ 3-2 victory over the White Sox on Wednesday.
