Twingo

Tonight Gina, Josh, Eric, and I went to watch the Twins play the Detroit Tigers. It was a pretty close game, but they ended up winning 6-4 in the 9th inning. Awesome. Tonight was half-night Tuesday, so what used to be the lower GA but is now called the home run porch (all of the seating areas have new names) was only $8 instead of $16, which was cool. We snuck in our own pop and candy, again, cool. Tonight was also a Twingo night. For those of you who have never played Twingo, you play it just like bingo, except there are plays instead of numbers. So instead of having B-10, you have a code for a play. Examply-a single is 1B, a caught ball by left field is F-9, a walk is BB, etc. It's really fun and generally goes through the 4th or 5th inning, or until all the prizes run out. The first 25 players to get Twingo win a prize. Tonight, Eric Michael Peterson was one of those lucky winners. Can you believe it? He actually won Twingo! The best part of it was when he was hoping for one of the players to be hit with a pitch. Torii Hunter comes up to bat, and Eric says "come on, take one for the team, get hit with the ball" and a few pitches later he gets hit! So Eric got to circle the HPB (hit by pitch) on the scorecard for that. It was hilarious! Not only did a player get hit by a pitch, which I don't see happen too often, but it was the exact player that Eric told to get hit! Hilarious. That wasn't his winning play however-his winning play was a home run hit in I think the bottom of the 3rd or top of the 4th. And his prize wasn't some lowly shirt (which actually wouldn't have been horrible) but 4 free tickets to any season game. Needless to say, the four of us are going to be heading to a game in the future. We've already picked the game actually-Twins vs. Yankees, June 4th. Isn't Twingo awesome?
