Big Ask

This is a huge ask, but if I don’t ask no one has the chance to say yes.

My (young adult) daughter has always wanted to run the mascot race. I found out this year you can turn in membership points (1,500) to run it. I’m a starter member though, so even though I do all the things I can do to get points I won’t have enough before she leaves for school in mid August. Is there anyone not using their points that would be willing to use them on her?

I’ll get you a case of spotted cow. And a beer at the game.

On This Day in Sports History July 4, 2022, MLB witnessed its first-ever 8-5 triple play

On July 4, 2022, Major League Baseball witnessed something it had never seen in more than a century of history.

The Minnesota Twins turned the first 8-5 triple play in MLB history during their game against the White Sox in Chicago.

The historic play began with center fielder Byron Buxton making the catch before third baseman Gio Urshela tagged one runner out between the bases and then doubled off another by stepping on second base, completing the unprecedented 8-5 triple play.

It remains the only 8-5 triple play in Major League Baseball history

Concept loon city connect jersey I made.

Let me know what you guys think! Went with Torii as he was my favorite growing up.

Edit: thank you all for the kind words and feedback/differing opinions on what you’d rather see. Graphic design is meant to appeal to as many people as possible and I always take criticism wholeheartedly, so thank you for speaking your mind. I’ll be going back to comments for discourse soon.

Also thank you for the award!

Guards fan coming in peace-need recommendations

Howdy there!

I am a Guards fan moving from Cleveland to Vancouver. I'll be crossing the country in a 16ft. U-Haul (jealous?) And will be passing through Minneapolis on the 9th so obviously I'm going to not pass through and instead catch the game and explore your city. I am hopeful you'll be able to answer a few questions?

I'm debating between a cheap seat to just get in and explore vs. a more expensive one to be close. Is there a decent amount of standing room with good views? I'd love to be on top of the right field wall but looks like everyone else would, too! Are there "can't miss" things in the park I need to see?

What is the best food item in the park? I'm talking like the fruit loops hotdog in Cleveland, the footlong Pretzel Dog in Tampa, something like that. I want the full experience.

How easy is it to get to the ballpark? I'll likely be staying outside the city and take an Uber to the game since I doubt I'll find much parking for a box truck with a car hauler behind it in downtown.

Happy to take any other suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Target Field seating question

So I won a pair of tickets today, to next Wednesday's game. Only problem is, I would need 3 (for my wife and I, and our daughter). The two that I have have assigned rows and seats in section 108. I'm looking at the Twins ticketing site to look into purchasing one more seat, but it only gives me the option for the section, nothing about what row/seat it would be (so I'm assuming it would be assigned somewhere else in the section). Are they really that strict about which seats you have, or would we be able to just move to wherever 3 seats are available together?
