Re: 2010 twinsfest
I just got back from Twinsfest. I've done the Mauer/Morneau thing enough in the past so that I don't have to endure their lines any longer. I heard Thome had quite a line as well. I hit the prospects table a few times (Hicks, Revere, etc.). Pretty decent lines for the prospects (kids and parents love the freebies). I also hit the Neshek, Perkins, Kubel and Young line (all for $15) which in true Twinsfest fashion started an hour before they arrived to sign. It actually seemed like fewer people as compared to Friday's past. I think tomorrow is going to be really crowded (last day for Mauer, Thome and a couple of other players). Sunday could be a bit slower this year.
Not much game used stuff on the floor this year. Pro Shop had its usual batch of jerseys and broken bats. Cheapest jerseys were $75, fringe players were $150 and solid starters around $200-250 (Baker, Kubel, etc.). Before anyone asks, no Mauer jerseys (no 2009s released to the public through the Pro Shops) and no Morneau jerseys.
I think the auction on Sunday should be very interesting with a Mauer GU bat and jersey among the items being auctioned off.
I'll try to update tomorrow.

.But then its proberly worth that,just not to me.In all in was a good show,nice turnout as fridays are usually the less busy day.But i think the hype around the wonderkid and the new stadium got alot of people there.And i just have to say i am not a big fan of thome.But i have to say it's very classy of him to attend the event as i am sure they did'nt expect him to.And it's funny as him being there took some attention from the kid.As i heard several people say they were planning to be in the kids line but changed to thome when they heard he was going to be there.I just wish my favorite twin butch wynegar would be at a show.
