Today, the Minnesota Twins played their 81st video game of the 2023 period– the midway mark. Thus far, I’ve observed ball park activity 15 times: 7 victories, 8 losses– about best considering the general record. Here were several of my first-half highlights (consisting of images at the base!). Possibly you went to some of these too. Donuts & & DogsFor weekend break afternoon tilts, I usually made a pre-game quit at Levels Pastry shop. I also attended 3 $1 hot pet nights. It is absolutely a wonder I’m still alive.April 8 vs. Houston AstrosDespite Joe Ryan surrounding a mammoth grand slam to Yordan Alvarez in the early goings, the Doubles persisted and came away with the victory– covered by a late-inning Byron Buxton Buck Truck blast! “Honk HONK!” Image by Dental Braces Hemmelgarn/Minnesota Twins/Getty Images April 11 vs. Chicago White SoxIn Manfred-ball (added innings), Griffin Jax mowed down the Pale Hose pipe to set up a walk-off opportunity. It took all of one pitch to make it happen: Michael A. Taylor fell a perfect bunt, Sox third-sacker Hanser Alberto tossed hugely to initial base, and g-g-g-g-ghost jogger Willi Castro motored around to rack up the winning run!May 19 & & 21 at Los Angeles AngelsVisiting family in LA, we took in 2 games at the Big A. Though the Twins lost both, I reached see my preferred non-Twin baseball celebrity– Mike Trout– at work and also the matchless Shohei Ohtani toe the rubber and lead off in the same contest.May 27 vs. Toronto Blue JaysA wild 9-7 success over heaven Birds in which I saw Castro homer twice along with bombs from Matt Wallner & & Edouard Julien. This was the game where Jays OF Daulton Varsho narrowly missed out on 2 HR-stealing grabs. Not quite.

This frightening minute played out right in front of me in the Delta 360 Club Picture by Adam Bettcher/Getty Images June 13 vs. Milwaukee BrewersAmidst a Mixture Crew requisition of Target Area, the ‘Sconnies had fairly a little bit to cheer for– till a bottom-of-the-ninth in which star stopper Devin Williams didn’t record an out and Carlos Correa lit the fuse on a walk-off victory bomb.Despite the rather pedestrian record for both myself as well as the Doubles on the whole, I have actually had some fun at the ballpark hence far. In the second fifty percent: a season ticket owners run-the-bases occasion and a Labor Field trip to Texas for some Twins/Rangers action are on tap– together with (ideally) a department title stretch-run push!If you have some first-half ball park memories/stories, drop them in the comments!
