Torii Hunter Raves about Target Field

Torii Hunter was a fan favorite and wore the Minnesota Twin jersey proudly. After years of playing in the Metrodome, Torii Hunter left for greener pastures in Los Angeles, California. Although he is an Angel, he will always be a Twin. Torii Hunter was so important for the Twins during the pivotal years after Kirby Puckett. The team was supposed to be contracted from baseball. After visiting Target Field for the first time last weekend, Hunter couldn't help but be emotional. He knew he was a big reason that stadium is there today. In an interview after playing at the new ballpark, Torii Hunter said, "Target Field is better than Yankee Stadium. It's the best stadium in baseball." I agree with Torii, Target Field is the best stadium in baseball.

Post Game Fireworks at Target Field

I was at the Minnesota Twins game on Friday, August 13th against the Oakland Athletics. After the 4-3 victory in which Carl Pavano posted his AL tying 15th victory of the year there were beautiful postgame fireworks. Target Field turned off all the lights except for the glowing TWINS sign in center field - it was majestic. It made me proud to be a Minnesota Twins fan since I was just a kid. The number of fans that stayed showed the loyalty of the fanbase for the hometown team. Simply put - Twins baseball is awesome. If you haven't been to Target Field you really need to go.
