Baseball on my lunch break

Since I work for a Pohlad Family company, we had the opportunity to purchase season ticket packages for the Minnesota Twins for a reduced deposit price.  Even though it would be fun to have season tickets, I can't afford it.  Supporting another Minnesota team all year is enough.  But as a way to drum up some excitement for the Twins, we had a little rally at work last week.  Members of the Twins organization were there to sign people up for Twins season ticket packages.  You could also enter a drawing for numerous prizes including Twins tickets, autographed hats and baseballs and bobbleheads.  TC Bear was also there and so were 2 former Twins players, Ron Coomer and Terry Steinbach.  Both seemed very nice but Ron Coomer was extremely nice.  I got an autographed baseball signed by each of them as well as a picture.  The picture didn't turn out the best.  We were in the atrium so the sun is shining down on my face plus the picture is a little blurry.  You get the idea anyways.  To top it all off, I also ended up winning one of the prizes, a bobblehead.  It wasn't delivered to me until the next day but when I received it, I was MORE than happy.  I ended up getting 4 bobbleheads!  I won the following bobbleheads: Joe Mauer, (sorry Ang, I'm not going to give it to you) Gary Gaetti, Michael Cuddyer and Justin Morneau.  What a good way to get me pumped for Twins baseball season!

LOL, that's fine... keep the bobblehead - can we agree that if you ever meet Joe, that you'll at least slip him my number?!

GO TWINS!
