Most athletes are a bore to follow on Twitter. Their feeds usually consist of motivational quotes, inside jokes with other teammates on Twitter, and banal comments about a recently-completed game. Twins reliever Glen Perkins is not among them.
@AlexBerg22 asked Perkins if he could provide any assistance since Berg had been “screwed over” ordering tickets online. Perkins was more than happy to help.
how many? RT @alexberg22: Got screwed over on tickets I bought last night for today’s game. Any chance my fav.player @glen_perkins can help?

A gentlemanly tip of the cap to you, Glen Perkins, for being one of baseball’s good guys.
