Minnesota Twins 2011 Season: Top Series Picks

The weather in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area is sub-par at best, but that hasn't stopped my mind from wandering to the cool 55 degree weather that is associated with Minnesota Twins baseball at Target Field in April.

In fact, if I weren't thinking about the upcoming, no matter how distant, season change, I may need to pack up my things and abandon the Minnesota tundra all together. But, no worries... I love the Minnesota Twins and would bear these sub-zero temperatures for them any day of the average-temperature-is-negative-fifteen week.

I haven't decided which series the Twins will be a part of that I am most excited for. There is the standard Yankee-Twins match-up that always gets fans stirring, but until we beat those guys post-season, a win in the regular season will do very little for our World Series aspirations. Fans need to be thinking more long-term. Of course there are the Boston Red Sox who have picked up several key players in recent winter meetings. The Twins will be playing at Fenway Park in Boston May 6-9 -- those games would definitely be something to consider if you are heading out east in the spring. Boston Red Sox Tickets can be found on local sites like Ticket King if you need them.

Of course the opening Twins series against the Oakland Athletics will have all the luster of any home-opening series, though it will probably pale in comparison to last year's where Target Field erupted with applause at a passing rain shower during the second game of the season. Nonetheless, outdoor baseball is back for year two at Target Field and I can't wait!
