Mariano Rivera Gets Rocking Chair Made from Broken Baseball Bats

Yankees' Mariano Rivera got a unique rocking chair made from baseball bats for his retirement gift from the twins. The Twins also gave Rivera a $10,000 donation for his foundation.

Among the bats were those belonging to Torii Hunter, Denard Span, Chuck Knoblauch, Kirby Puckett, Michael Cuddyer, Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau and Josh Willingham.

The chair, which was manager Ron Gardenhire’s idea, was inscribed with two Twins logos and the words “Chair of Broken Dreams.” How perfect?!! We love this idea for a fun, but memorable and meaningful retirement gift.

Snapchat Joe Mauer!

We LOVE the new phase that all the kids with smartphones are going through - snapchat! A way to send quick pictures that delete after 10 seconds!

Take a look at the pictures we included in this blog post (we couldn't pick just one), so classic of that cutie! What snapchats would you send to your friends while you are at a Twins game?

Minnesota Twins Instagram

My friend won cheap Twins tickets at the bar last weekend, so she invited me to the game! Now, not to sound spoiled, but I have never sat in such horrible seats (Section 322, heard of it?). The positive side to the free tickets was that we had a little more BEER MONEY! 

Minnesota Twins Current Standings!

We always like to see how the Minnesota Twins are faring in the season. The Minnesota Twins are 25-29, and 3rd in AL Central Division. I feel like every time I hear about the Twins results, they did not win, but a 25-29 record is not terrible. Compared to the Kansas City Royals (who are 32-31), we aren't doing too bad. Get to a game to see the Twins play for yourself!
