And Twins! (The Twins talk and pick-up thread).

You think one of the local promoters or FanHQ bring in Thome for a signing now? Maybe Fanhq will be getting some tickets in from tonight's game for a signing. But I'm sure his price with 600 hr inscription will be an arm, a leg and a gallon of blood to get one.

If it was $110 earlier this season, probably will be $160 now

Won another Plouffe plate for $17. Now I'll have to sell the AP/Shaincoe plate already

I better get saving... I want to get Thome IP before he leaves... I hope FanHQ brings him in again.

You'd be better off getting tickets in the first row of 103-105 for 4 games and trying to get him pregame.

Does he sign IP? If there is a chance I will try for it...

Not sure, but you'd have to get tickets in the first row, since they kick anyone else out now. Not sure if they have instructed the players to not sign for anyone though.

They are opening up the Dome on August 20th for the public. Dennis Anderson will be there... I am going to see if we can go, and track down a series 1 Grave Digger for him to sign.

There will also be a ton of Vikings on hand too. First 3,000 get a metrodome roof swatch as well.

Did Thome get the 600 home run ball then. Who got it in the bullpen?

From the video it looked like someone handed Nathan something from the stands.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Is Levi Michael going unsigned?

Nope, he is not.

 

[TwinsWin]

Thome had the ball in his post game interview, it went into the Tigers bullpen so im pretty sure the player to be named later became Thome's #600 home run ball lmao

 

[TBTwinsFan]

If you watch at 1:03, it looks like someone hands Nathan a ball.

whoops

[TwinsWin]

that could be, maybe a tigers releiver handed over fence to nathan or that is #599 which went into the twins bullpen

either way he has it, tobad it didnt go out at target, but im still happy it went out

anyone plan on getting a ticket stub?

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I might try too.

Congrats to Jim Thome! He really is becoming more of a favorite player in my book. I have always respected him but the more and more I see him and hear him he really is a great guy and baseball needs more like him. I was thinking about getting a ticket stub until I saw the prices :shock: Still want one, but I think I will try and wait a week or so until some of the attention starts to die down. Idk if that is too high for a ticket of this magnitude or not but I learned from buying my Liriano No-Hitter ticket a little too early that I can wait a little bit.

Bought tickets last night for Saturday's game against the Yankees. Anyone else going?

 

[TGutta]

I'll be there on Thursday and also have a pass to see Twins batting practice so I'll be in early.

I know it is early, but you would think Twins will put together some sort of Thome 600 hr TF stadium giveaway before end of the season. I haven't even checked on what 600 hr ticket prices are going for. You know Tigers will milk everything they can from the game and it will be put up on MLB.com auctions. I'm sure HOF will get a few things. Maybe they will have the home run ball on display at TF for viewing this weekend. Did anyone notice if they changed balls when he came up going for #600. For big milestone home runs, MLB always special marks them so they know it is legit ball. Usually bat boy runs balls out to ump and they use them only during Thome at bats.

I'm pretty sure when I was watching MLB Network last night and saw the highlights one of the Tigers announcers said that there were special balls that were coming out for Thome's AB.
