TwinsFest 2009 Schedule and Preview

TwinsFest, one of the largest community fundraisers in all of baseball, is set to begin this upcoming Friday. Over 50 current and former Minnesota Twins greats will be in attendance to meet fans and sign some autographs. Fans can tour the clubhouse, visit the press box, and participate in a variety of auctions. This is the penultimate event for any die-hard Twins fan. You can buy your tickets here or at the door for a small markup. If you are seeking autographs, make sure you arrive to the queue fairly early as the lines may be long. Also, bring something to sign as you won’t be provided with anything.

The autograph and photo schedules are listed below, but here are a few other good reads on TwinsFest:
