Boston Red Sox at the Metrodome

Wow! The Metrodome was in full swing with the 2007 World Champion Boston Red Sox making a series stop here in the Twin Cities. Fans from all over the northern Midwest packed the Metrodome to watch a great homestand against the reigning Boston Red Sox. The ‘New Look’ Twins have continued doing what they do best; winning games with fundamental defense and a strong hitting lineup and so far, it’s worked for them. The Twins are 12-6 at the Metrodome Minneapolis this year, and stand at a .158 since the start of the season back on March 31, the earliest season opener in the Twins history.

Looking around at the Metrodome crowd this weekend, I was somewhat surprised to notice the absence of Red Sox jerseys and caps with the letter ‘B’ on them. Even though this Twins ball club has a lot of new faces, it’s still abundantly clear that Twins fans are loyal to their team. Usually, when a team wins the World title, they tend to attract a slue of fair-weather fans, but here in Minnesota, the Twins are synonymous with springtime, the only professional indoor baseball stadium in the country, and in my opinion, the best fans! See ya at the Dome!
