Opening Night - Introduction - Pro Staff & Rookies

Opening night is pretty low key -- the rookies get together for a short meeting to go over the "ground rules" and to get an idea of what is going on -- it was reported that Bert dropped a few "f-bombs" but otherwise it was "brief"and to the point.  We headed into the banquet and voice of the Twins Broadcasts Dick Bremer introduced the pro staff --See Video

Then the rookies get a chance to introduce themselves -- they pass the mic around and the 'new campers' get to let us know where they are from and why/how they are attending.  The common dominator with these campers - they bleed Twins blood, they love baseball, they love the Twins and they are here to have some fun!!

After the evening wrapped up we then piled into the bar to watch the Packer-Viking game -- we got word Ponder wasn't playing (not that it would have made a big difference) but boy Joe Webb looked like one of the fantasy campers who is a bit past his prime playing and it was an ugly night to be a purple fan.

Well onto the field tomorrow.....
