Read carefully because while you probably won’t see this name here ever again, it deserves to be remembered.

Last week St. Paul Saints first baseman Brian “Buck” Buchanan had the performance of a lifetime. He only hit a team record 9 RBIs in the Saints’ 12-5 win over St. Joseph Thursday night, going 5-for-5 in the game, with three doubles (tied for a team record) and a home run. But he wasn’t finished there. The next two nights, Buchanan hit home runs as well, which also tied a team mark for consecutive games with home runs. Regardless of the level of play (we don’t even know what level the Northern League is considered) that is a pure hitting tear. And there couldn’t have been a guy that deserved it more — we found out via KFAN that Buchanan is a journeyman who spent years bouncing around minor and major league teams, including as a Right Fielder the Minnesota Twins, only to never fully catch on. Enjoy that moment in the sun, Mr. American Association Batter Of The Week.
