TwinsFest '08
Saturday marked TBL's annual pilgrimage to TwinsFest. Since attendance is usually right in line with the prior season's team performance, it was possible to wander about more or less freely for the first time in several years. (There are benefits to stinking up the joint, however small and fleeting.)
The main goals of the day were:
1) Introduce a certain dedicated Twins fan to TwinsFest
2) Meet up with the blogger behind Lipgloss and Baseball
3) Go through the free minor-league autograph line every session
4) See the exhibits
5) Sign up to win free stuff
TBL is happy to report that all goals were satisfactorily accomplished. And now, bits and bobs of the day, in photos.

What with the new ballpark finally going up, one exhibit showed some of the old ones. TBL suspects that taking photos of photos qualifies as geeky.
And, what we're all eagerly waiting for...the new ballpark! Only teensy!

Hey, that was Francisco with Punto, not Alexi!
Whoops, my bad! Should not blog before coffee...
It's actually Craig Monroe, not Francisco or Alexi.
Wow! Boof looks gooood!
Thanks for sharing your photos.
Woo Woo! Thanks for taking me through the Down on the Farm line!
I don't know baseball at all, but I thought the new stadium was supposed to be HUGE. That one is really tiny.
I love the picture of Nick Puno and Craig Monroe. Nick is so freaking cute!
