This week, the Minnesota Twins played their 81st video game of the 2023 season-- the midway mark. Therefore much, I have actually seen ball park action 15 times: 7 wins, 8 losses-- about best thinking about the total document. Below were several of my first-half highlights (consisting of pictures near the bottom!). Perhaps you were at several of these as well. Donuts & & DogsFor weekend break mid-day tilts, I typically made a pre-game stop at Levels Bakeshop. I also attended three $1 hot dog evenings. It is absolutely a wonder I'm still alive.April 8 vs. Houston AstrosDespite Joe Ryan surrounding a mammoth conquest to Yordan Alvarez in the early goings, the Doubles stood firm as well as came away with the triumph-- covered by a late-inning Byron Buxton Dollar Vehicle blast! "Honk HONK!"

It took all of one pitch to make it occur: Michael A. Taylor fell an ideal bunt, Sox third-sacker Hanser Alberto threw wildly to first base, as well as g-g-g-g-ghost runner Willi Castro motored around to rack up the winning run!May 19 & & 21 at Los Angeles AngelsVisiting family in LA, we absorbed two video games at the Big A. Though the Twins shed both, I reached see my favorite non-Twin baseball star-- Mike Trout-- at work as well as the incomparable Shohei Ohtani toe the rubber and also lead off in the exact same contest.May 27 vs. Toronto Blue JaysA wild 9-7 victory over the Blue Birds in which I saw Castro homer twice together with bombs from Matt Wallner & & Edouard Julien. This was the game where Jays OF Daulton Varsho narrowly missed out on 2 HR-stealing grabs. Not rather.

This frightening minute played out right before me in the Delta 360 Club Picture by Adam Bettcher/Getty Images June 13 vs. Milwaukee BrewersAmidst a Brew Staff requisition of Target Area, the 'Sconnies had a fair bit to applaud for-- up until a bottom-of-the-ninth in which celebrity stopper Devin Williams didn't tape-record an out and also Carlos Correa lit the fuse on a walk-off victory bomb.Despite the instead pedestrian document for both myself as well as the Twins on the whole Twins Store, I have actually had some enjoyable at the ballpark so far. In the 2nd half: a period ticket holders run-the-bases event as well as a Labor Outing to Texas for some Twins/Rangers activity get on tap-- along with (with any luck) a department title stretch-run push!If you have some first-half ballpark memories/stories, drop them in the comments!
