Promotion Night
I thought one of the things missing without having Twins baseball at Target Field was the promotions they'd have at the ballpark so tonight is our first one! I have partnered up with SotaStick and are giving away this shirt tonight to the first person who wins Twingo. For Twingo comment which of the four boards you are choosing to play with on Twitch and then you are stuck with that board. If there are no winners prize will carry into Saturday's game at 1:10pmCT

• Twingo ONLY for Boston game at 7:00pm (Will explain rules during Seattle game at 5pm).
