twinsfest

Fans from all over Minnesota can flock to see famous Twins both past and present, and a lot more this weekend to get hyped up for the upcoming season.

The Minnesota Twins say Hall of Famer Rod Carew is healthy enough to attend the team's annual fan festival next weekend

It's TwinsFest this weekend. With the Metrodome in demolition mode, this year's event is being held at the outdoor Target Field.

WJON's top 5 at 7:45 has ranked the top 5 things you didn't see at Twinsfest at the Metrodome this weekend. WJON's top 5 at 7:45 airs every weekday morning on the Morning Newswatch on WJON.

The Twins plan to retire soon to be hall of famer Bert Blyleven this season. The Twins will retire Blyleven's number 28 July 16 against Texas. He will become the 6th Twins player to have his number retired. The others are Harmon Killebrew, Rod Carew, Tony Oliva, Kent Hrbek and Kirby Puckett.

The Minnesota Twins have a lot going on these days.  They're bringing their Winter Caravan to St. Cloud January 26th, they're moving Twinsfest to Blaine because of the Metrodome roof collapse and they just had former Twin Bert Blyleven elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. So, we had lots to talk about with Twins Director of Public Relations, Kevin Smith.

The Minnesota Twins have moved their annual fan festival to the suburbs, with the Metrodome still unusable because of a collapsed roof.
