Twins Game: Interleague Play!

We had a great time at the Twins - Phillies game on Tuesday night at Target Field. Once the sun went down, it got a little chilly, but luckily I had a Twins sweatshirt with to stay warm. And of course the traffic to get there was horrendous. Driving from downtown St. Paul to downtown Minneapolis should take 20 minutes, if that. It took 45. Luckily, I wasn't driving. Poor Adam...

This time, our seats were in the Grandstand. Adam, the seat snob, has recently decided he doesn't like the Grandstand. But I like the panoramic view they provide. I think it's fun to sit in different parts of the stadium. I get sick of sitting in the same area with the same view. A little outfield action doesn't bother me. But I would hate to sit in the upper level behind home plate. Those seats look awful.

The Phillies made it interesting, but the Twins came away with the win. There was even a surprise appearance by the Philly Phanatic! It was hilarious. Video here

Plus my guy Ben Revere had a great game and there were even three Twins home runs by Span, Willingham and Plouffe. Adam says I have to end the Plouffe hate because he's been playing well lately. But it's so. hard. to let go.

We left in the 7th inning because it was getting late (past 10 pm). On the ride home, we had an interesting conversation about interleague play. I love it. Adam could do without it. I politely reminded him that when we were looking at the Twins schedule to get tickets, this was the one team he wanted to see. Plus, if there was no interleague play, how would we see all the cool ballparks? (Other than going there for a game the Twins aren't playing in)

My #1 ballpark I want to see is AT&T Park (San Francisco Giants). I'm sad that basically all the parks I really want to see are National League parks - PNC (Pittsburgh Pirates), Citizens Bank (Philadelphia Phillies), Coors Field (Colorado Rockies), Nationals Park (Washington Nationals), CitiField (New York Mets), Marlins Park (Miami Marlins). Someday.....
