take me out to the ball game!

Minnesota is a sports fan's paradise. There are so many passionate fanatics in this state; from hockey to football, baseball to basketball, we love it all! Unfortunately, the Minnesota Twins aren't having the best season ever. Okay, it's a TERRIBLE season, but that never deters a true fan from sticking to their guns and cheering for the best team in baseball! Last Monday I had the pleasure of taking in my last ball game of the season at the capital of Twins Territory: Target Field. My parents have been longtime season ticket holders of the Twins, and take in games just about every week. We figured it would be fun to do one last Twins outing before I became fully exposed to all the idiotic White Sox fandom in Chicago. (It you're not aware, Minnesota and Chicago hate each other, so this should be interesting, lol) 

Target Field is brand spanking new (this is the second season it's open) and probably the most gorgeous stadium in baseball. (And that's not just me being biased, several publications and people agree) It's made with Minnesota limestone, metals from the iron range and just about every other material comes from Minnesota too! It's also the greenest, most eco-friendly stadium in the country! Unfortunately, the Twins kept their losing streak alive, but it was still a wonderful time!

Believe it or not, the Twins have experienced the most success of any team in baseball over the last 10 years!

If you can get over the dirty iPad screen, it's super fun to get live stats, pitch counts and even an exact view of the strike zone when the ball crosses the plate on the MLB app for iPad!

Joe Mauer (3 time American League batting champ, 3 time Golden Glove winner and 2009 American League MVP) might as well be a rock star in Minnesota. He's definitely the most eligible bachelor!

Sooo.......... why did we trade him to Cleveland 3 days later?

The best website ever is DidtheTwinsWin.com. For a long time it was updated with either "Twins Win!" or "No," but we think the person in charge just got sick of updating it. This, however, is just too funny.
