Twins Around Town
No, this isn’t a post about random Joe Mauer sightings around Minneapolis, it is regarding the Twins to 50th aniversary campaign. Seems like a cool idea, very similar the the Peanuts campaign in Saint Paul a few years back.
I don’t think the Twins need any extra advertising, especially with Target Field opening up, but it can’t hurt. I think they should roll it out sooner, especially the statues from the Twins early years, so younger fans can take in a lot of Twins history before the 2010 season starts. Or they can just use wikipedia, whatever works.

I hope the statues aren’t actually all-white like they are in that picture.
They are going to be covered in a collage of images and newsclippings from a particular year. I guess the plan is to have 50 of them throught the city.
Ah. That could be cool, I guess.
Not as cool as having the actual players standing out there, but I imagine they’d be annoyed at the waste of time, and the crowds would probably be pretty big.
I walked by the ceremony yesterday and was baffeled when I saw a stage with that white Joe Mauer statue. Since I had no idea what was going on until I read about it this morning.
