Twins home opener today. There was no refusing to stand amongst the players when our national anthem was played(as it should be). I watched closely and both teams and those in the dugout were respectful and acting the same as we would,when the Star Spangled Banner was played. I get goose bumps when I hear it. Tom

They had a couple of the younger pups last year pulling that BS but most are just happy to be here playing the game, it’s tough to cry racism when the majority of minority players names are on the backs of fans. LOL
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Its not as if they had a choice whether to play in Mpls or not. Thats where the stadium is. I have never been a fan of Minneapolis.Except when I went there in the 60s to sell fur,at Ribnicks and Burman Buckskins. Last time I was there was about 15 years ago for a Roger Mcguinn concert.

I've been to the new stadium 5 times. It is a great place to watch the Twins. Tom you should go see the Twins there, you'll enjoy the game. That said I'm boycotting Coke and the All star game for their ignorance.
Help yourself.

Kiddos to any team that stands up and act like the gracious men they should be. They would no doubt never be able to replicate their financial success and freedom anywhere else.
All the kneelers can have a one way ticket to whatever country they think is better I say.

I’ve never been a big fan of MLB until the playoffs at the end of the season . Now that they have become political I don’t need to watch them at all.
Besides , little league is a lot more fun to watch ! I enjoy watching high school ball even though I have no skin in the game.

Been a big Twins fan since they arrived in MN. in 1961. Our team had no say in moving the all star game ,it was the idiotic commissioner. Tom

Tom Well that's good to hear. I wonder if manager Baldelli and Buxton still have BLM tee shirts on under their uniforms

Good one Smuck.
I was a Twins fan as a kid probably cause I played for Twins Little League. Do I remember a out fielder named Wynn, or ??
I was a good short stop and runner, then no High School team, and off to work I went. And the pro Pirates team become a farm team lol.
I did watch some old re-run games last winter on tv. I missed some good games while working.
