The best business move the Twins can make is to put a winning team on the field.

It will be a miracle if the new Twins stadium ever gets built on the site they have chosen before actually owning it. I just can't imagine many sellout opening nights on April 2nd if April 2nds keep up their reputation of being brisk, rainy 35 degree nights. The rest of the year would be a treat at an outdoor park but there are about eight weeks that would weed out the casual fans rather fast.

On the subject of baseball...
I can visualize the entire scene; an outdoor baseball park on a crisp April evening like tonight, the second game in the Baltimore series. What a beautiful night for a ball game in a publicly subsidized building for a privately owned team. I imagine the smell of cigars (which I don't mind even though I don't smoke them - but wait; they'll be illegal there and that’s an entirely different conversation), popcorn and hotdogs. I can just hear Wally the Beer Man calling out, “Beer here!” What a beautiful almost romantic scene, the snow falling, temps in the high 20’s and players huddled around heaters in the dugouts. The biggest question is; can the guys actually play in Carhartts?
Awesome scene, touch ‘em all boys, touch ‘em all; I just did.
