Target Field - to quote Darin McGavin in "A Christmas Story"

"It's indescribably beautiful!"

1. So much better than the dome

But what's with that corny cartoon drawing? It's as bad as Chief Wahoo.

2. That's been a logo the Twins have used on and off since 1961

so there's some tradition behind it. The twin characters names are Minnie & Paul. It lights up when a home run is hit and, at night games, they appear to be shaking hands - that doesn't show up so well at day games. I kind of like it and, unlike Chief Wahoo, it doesn't really offend beyond being a tad corny.

Sadly, the guy who created it died like a week after the first game at Target Field and didn't get to see the new park. I think I heard that when he drew the logo he was paid $50.00.
