22 and a championship

On September 25th we went to Target Field in Minneapolis to see the stadium and to watch the Twins host the Detroit Tigers.  As some of you know part of our journey is to try to get to all 30 major league stadiums.  Target Field was the 22nd we have attended.  Target Field is only 3 years old, so while we had been to the old Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, and the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, we had not made it to Target.  So 22 down with 8 to go.  Those 8 will be a long time coming as they include 2 in Texas and 6 on the west coast.  Maybe next season.  By the way, the old Met stadium site was re-purposed and now is home to the Mall of America!

Unfortunately, the Twins lost 1-0.  Many of you might think that was a boring baseball game but it is exactly the type of game Diana and I love.  It was well played and fun to watch.  There were a lot of Tiger fans there because a win for the Tigers gave them the American League Central Division Championship.  This also gives them a home field advantage at the start of the play offs.  As mentioned the Tigers won and had a nice but very respectful celebration on their division rivals infield.  It was the first time we had attended a game where the championship was determined.  Very cool!
