FSN showed up, and Buxton delivered.
Fox Sports North aired Monday’s Class A Cedar Rapids Kernels game against the Kane County Cougars to showcase Byron Buxton, who is considered the Twins’ top minor league prospect.

He went 3-for-4 with a diving catch, a bases-clearing double and a triple — all while knocking in three runs.
The catch he made was as good as any you’ll see. Check it out …
Those who did watch, lit up the Twitterverse with gems like these:
