"There have been many moments over the past year when Twins closer Matt Capps wished that he could just pick up the phone and call his dad. There was the day last December when he learned that he'd been non-tendered by the Pirates, the only organization he had played for in his seven years of professional baseball. There was the Sunday morning in July when Capps, who was now closing for the Nationals, learned that he had made his first All-Star team. And there was the night shortly before baseball's Trade Deadline when he learned he had been traded to the Twins in order to help the club try to clinch another division title."
