This could be the start of the Byron Buxton Era. Or we may just be taking a break during the Aaron Hicks Era. Or perhaps we're still officially mourning the passing of the Denard Span Era. It's all very confusing and there's no telling at the moment.
If this really is Buxton's time, it's the result of odd coincidence. A fluke. A one-in-a-million set of circumstances.
"Shock went through me," Buxton says of getting called up last Sunday.
It probably went through the Twins' front office, too, as it had no intention of summoning him to the big leagues so soon.
