We would like to wish each and every one of you a safe, happy and healthy 2022.

We would like to wish each and every one of you a wonderful and blessed Christmas.

We would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas in a very trying year. Many of us will not be able to spend this Christmas with our loved ones and many others, sadly will never again be able to spend Christmas with that special loved one. We have all fought this fight for some time now but with the vaccine rollout underway there is a light to be seen at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there, be safe, be healthy and do what you can to make sure your family and friends are safe too.

2020 has been a year that we will never forget and one that will go down in the history books for a variety of reasons. A lot of us have gone through various struggles this year and many of us have lost someone near and dear. In spite of all the trials and tribulations we have endured in 2020 we all still have much to be thankful for. We at Twinstrivia.com would like to thank you all for stopping by our site now and then and we would like to wish each and everyone of you a very special, safe, healthy and Happy Thanksgiving.

Don’t forget to thank a Veteran, or two, or three, for their service today and every day.

The 2019 version of the Team Market Report Fan Cost Index is out, it is always something that I look forward to every MLB season. 

The Team Marketing Report Fan Cost Index® is comprised of the prices of four adult average-price tickets, parking for one car and the least expensive ballpark-available pricing for: two draft beers, four soft drinks, four hot dogs and two (adult-size) adjustable caps. Costs are determined through calls, emails and online research with teams, venues, concessionaires and season ticket holders. Identical questions are asked of all sources. TMR reserves the right to update FCI numbers when additional information is presented and verified.

 

 

The Twins FCI is in the bottom third of MLB this season after the team worked to reduce some prices and their FCI dropped by 11.3%, only the Miami Marlins with a FCI drop of 23% dropped their prices more than the Twins did. Way to go Twins and Marlins! One of the items that jumps out at me is the Twins parking price of $6, making it the third lowest in all of baseball. I wonder where you have to park to get that rate? Heck, it costs $10 just to park at Hammond Stadium for a Twins exhibition game.

The average ticket price for an MLB baseball game this year is up 2.1% to $32.99 and the average price for a Minnesota Twins ticket is $32.68, just 0.2% above last season making the Twins the twelfth highest average ticket price in MLB. The highest average ticket price belongs to the Chicago Cubs at $59.49 and the lowest average ticket price is in , where you can watch the Diamondbacks for $20.86. The Cubs ticket is almost three times higher than the Dbacks ticket. 

Average ticket price represents a weighted average of season ticket prices for general seating categories. This is determined by factoring the full season ticket cost for each category as a percentage of the total number of seats in each venue. This takes into account variable pricing.

Merry Christmas everyone! 

Posnanski: There is only one logical explanation for the Yankees’ hold over the Twins:

Witchcraft

Posnanski wrote a story on the Yankee-Twins “rivalry” in The Athletic” (pay site) I think that Posnanski is on to something. Can you think of a better explanation? Of course not, there is none.

So the thing to do here is to look at the silver lining in the dark gray cloud. The Twins could use some fans at Target Field so the Twins crack Marketing staff should have a “cast a spell on the Yankees” day when they come to town in September. The team can hire an expert in the field of Witchcraft and have him/her remove the spell that the New York Yankees have over the Minnesota Twins. Once that is complete, then casting a “no World Series” spell over the New York Yankees seems like fair retribution.

What a crowd this would draw and finally end this curse that has demoralized Minnesota Twins fans for years.
