Target Field, Minneapolis, Minnesota

We must have picked the coldest day of our stay in Minneapolis to attend the baseball game at Target Field between the Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox. Baseball weather is supposed to be warm and pleasant, and conducive to shorts and t-shirts, not the 4 layers, ski socks, boots, gloves, hat and scarf I donned to keep warm on this more frigid night at the Ball Park. Did I mention the hand warmers? Brrrr! Still, we had a good time, and the game was exciting up until the very end with the Twins finally bringing it home at the bottom of the 9th inning with a final score of Twins 8, Sox 6. The Ball Park is set right in the middle of downtown Minneapolis, and the skyline made for some interesting pictures, as well as the full moon coming up between the skyscrapers that night. This is the 17th Major League Baseball Park we've visited, and we hope to pick up at least a couple more before the season is over.

Wow, great pictures, especially that one of the moon rising over the cityscape.

I was born in Minneapolis and went to college in Boston, so I'm not sure which team I would have rooted for in that situation!?!?!?!

That's a really fun goal, going to all the ballparks.
