The article was run in 07.

And the trade-off? The Twins and White Sox were still battling it out, so there was no guarantee the they&#39;d make the playoffs, so the twins hedged their bets by not printing 2010 on them, so they could use em next year or the year after or the year after. Hey, it worked for the 2008 homer hanky. <br /><br />HandsOnNight<br /><br />I&#39;ve never thought of that, but I think you&#39;re onto something. The Homer Hanky looked cool because the Metrodome seating created an absolute unbroken sea of people. The hankies were also the same color as the roof. It was visually striking, to be sure. <br /><br />Target Field&#39;s seating is more hodge-podge and the sea of hankies won&#39;t be as epic. <br /><br />But I don&#39;t mind watching outdoor playoff baseball at Target Field.haasertimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03599382952834537011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5801768329447624769.post-40967171841660558292010-09-23T10:23:10.493-05:002010-09-23T10:23:10.493-05:00Do you think the white homer hanky will look as cool as it did against the semi-white dome roof?

I think i just figured out how to remix the We&#39;re gonna Win Twins song and make it not suck lets record it this weekend and send it to the team and see if they&#39;ll play it ever.

Otherwise this would&#39;ve been the best homer hanky design of all time.<br /><br />is anyone else really excited about the twins&#39; chances this year as opposed to ever? I was a kid in 91 so that doesnt count to me.bizmarkie507http://www.blogger.com/profile/02338087361037043540noreply@blogger.com
