Robb Quinlan was most affected by Wednesday's bridge collapse in Minneapolis.

Born in St. Paul and living in Minnetonka during the offseason, Quinlan was stuck to the clubhouse television this afternoon, his cell phone at his fingertips.

He kept trying to contact friends and family members there, but couldn't get through since all the cell lines were down.

After the reporters were through interviewing Manager Mike Scioscia (our daily thing right as batting practice begins) Quinlan finally ran onto the field to shag balls.

As he came in to the dugout to switch gloves and take grounders at first, I asked if he ever got through and if everything was all right.

"As far as I know ... for now," he said.
