MINNEAPOLIS -- As Aaron Hicks returned to his former workplace on Thursday afternoon, the outfielder paced through the corridors of Target Field and prepared a quip for a question he knew would eventually be posed.
"Do I miss this place? I mean, I liked the rent better," Hicks said, with a laugh.
Minneapolis and Manhattan aren't compared often, particularly when it comes to real estate values, but Hicks said that his four seasons patrolling the Target Field outfield in a Twins uniform helped him prepare for the challenges he is now facing in New York.
