But the boxscore just really can’t accurately describe what it was like for those of us here watching the game from the live chat. From Span kicking tail and getting the first HR in Target Field, seeing random friends enjoying the amenities, or even seeing Jacque Jones back in Minnesota!! What a fantastic day for baseball in this state!
Because it wasn’t enough for Span to have the first triple at Target Field, he also had to smash the first home run.
It’s always nice to see someone you know, Seth Stohs, on TV. Eating a cheese-covered nacho chip.
It was great to see that the fans at the ballpark remember Jacque Jones fondly too.
TARGET FIELD!!! WOOOHOOO!!! wow it is seriously windy out there – they are going to have to play with that.
that whole bit with Jacque made me all teary… *sniff*
