Our first night game at Target Field was a winning one. Slowey definitely had his stuff. So different from the bad Karma game (see earlier post). The Star Spangled Banner was sung by a classroom of youngsters. First time I've heard the high notes sung with so much enthusiasm. It surely started the game on the right note.
As you can see from the pics, the night view from our seats is beautiful. I took several shots to capture evening sky as it got darker and darker. No home run for the Twins tonight so I didn't get to see Minnie and Paul shaking hands over the river or home run fireworks against the dark sky over the scoreboard. Hard to believe Cleveland has been on a winning streak watching them play. Walks were abundant as the scoreboard brightly attested. A wild throw to home resulted in two Twins runs. Then for a little laughter, Cleveland had three players chasing a ball in the outfield and apparently no one called it. That little incident was in the paper so if you look at the Strib you'll see for yourself.
It's become pretty clear that foul balls up to section 320 are quite unlikely, maybe even impossible. And forget about getting a t-shirt from TC's mighty rifle.
I was a little surprised that our section was filled with quite a few new faces. I'm hoping for a little consistency to build some Section 320 commraderie. Not a "do the wave" group. Just one that can share a few asides or discoveries about our new stadium. Or here's an idea. We could begin an effort to get TC to come up to our level to shoot some T-shirts. Then I'll know the section is really gellin', just like the Twinkies.
