Twinsfest

Sad news first: I didn't get my Cuddyer's autograph (nor did my nieces get Mauer's). I even ended up going 2 days (waiting in line 2 hours the second day) just to get it, but didn't. :(

Other sad news: There really wasn't anything to do there.

And now the happy news: We got to tour the Twins dugout and clubhouse (they don't call it a locker room because they don't have lockers, just open closets). And I got to go in and lean against the wall in Cuddy's not-locker. (Today there was a note saying "Out of respect for the players, please do not sit in their lockers" or something like that. haha) And we got to see that Mauer has a pimped out not-locker, with a cupholder and a folding chair with arms. And we learned that bat boys have to do the players' laundry. And we got to climb the 44 steps (though if you didn't see Torii Hunter climb them for the last time, that doesn't much matter to you [I miss Torii!!! :(( ]).

And since I didn't get an autograph, I consoled myself by buying this pic of my Cuddyer (and a nice pic of Morneau and Mauer for good measure). :)

And it was nice to be in the Dome again; felt all home-like. And we got free tickets to a game. And I bought tickets for some of the girls from work and I to go to the second game of the season, when we're playing the Angels - and Torii. :(( So those are all happy things.

And Twinsfest means that the season will soon be coming soon!
