First Pitch: Sadie Keller recaps Field of Dreams and previews the fun still to come!

As the pitch to Kishaw hit high in the air left field, it's got some carry, does it add the legs to get over the wall, base of the wall, and gone. Luke Kishol rattles the tassels in the cornfield and left. And the twins are on the board. It's 2-1 in favor of Philadelphia. Oh, that was a bright spot for Luke Kishel. He would cut the lead in half at that point of the game with a home run right there. Twins were down 2-1 until we get to the top of the fourth yesterday against the Phillies. Kyle Schwerber would once again find the corn making it 4-1. Bryce Harper would single in the fourth, making it 5-1, yeah. Final score was 7-1 Phillies. And then, of course, Joanne Durand closing the door for the twins as they couldn't quite get. the bats going but there was a lot of fun moments that pregame ceremony buck was playing and those father-son moments as well were so fantastic at that game yesterday a lot of memories from that joining us now on the john schuster coldwell binker hotline is sadie keller manager paid marketing with the minnesota twins sadie i am so jealous you were at the game weren't you Yes, yes. We were down at the game in Drysville yesterday, and it was just an amazing evening. You know, the classic quote from the movie is, is this heaven? And for twins fans and baseball fans in general, Last night at the Field of Dreams, I really did feel like a little slice of baseball heaven. I bet you did. I bet as a big baseball fan as part of the Twins organization, Josh, our producer, was talking, he got a little emotional in that pregame ceremony. Did you find it to be really kind of exactly what you expected it to be? Yeah, everything you expected it to be and more. As you mentioned, one of the most incredible moments is when the teams emerged from the outfield corn to the sounds from the movie and, you know, the whole stadium just all silent. It really gave you goosebumps and it was one of those memories that you'll take on forever. But it wasn't even just the teams that came out from the corn. You had the twins, the Phillies coming out, but then 26 Hall of gamers came out and followed the teams out. It was just such an incredible celebration of this game that we all love and just really coming together to create those memories. I really enjoyed the father's son moments, too. I was talking to Shelty this week, and his father was coming. And then the moment with Cody Clemens and Roger Clemens, too, and Roger Clemens in his Red Sox uniform, I know it gave people chills. And I know Cody was talking about it on social media as well. So not all of us were able to be like you, Sadie, and be at the game and enjoy it and experience it firsthand. So the twins have the day off today, but they're playing. the Phillies this weekend. And it sounds like you guys are kind of extending this excitement into the weekend for fans and there's items. And so give us a sense of what we can enjoy and take advantage of this weekend as far as the fun from Iowa coming back up here to Target Field.

Yes, absolutely. As you mentioned, we knew not that all fans that wanted to go down and experience the field of dreams were able to have the opportunity. So we really wanted to bring some of that Iowa-inspired fun back to the ballpark here at Target Field. So fans can enjoy some fresh corn. We'll have a corn roast at Gate 34 on Saturday, August 15th as we take on the Phillies. That would go alongside our typical $2 beer happy hour pregame. There'll be a bunch of Field of Dreams themed merchandise. And then fans will want to get to the game early from 430 to 5. There will be a special photo opportunity with some twins players in a field of dream-inspired backdrop. Oh, that's so fun. And you're not revealing yet, which players? Not quite yet. Fans will have to come in and come early and be surprised with who's there at the photo booth. Okay, tell me again what time that's at and what day. That'll be at 4.30 to 5 on August 15th on Saturday tomorrow. Okay. And so this is an important series. I know with the weather, too, it should be pretty good this weekend, not too hot as well. You know what I'm really intrigued by? And maybe I'm kind of just throw you a loop here, Sadie, this thing with coming up at the end of August, this yacht rock one. What is that exactly? You guys have a special with that, and I'm very intrigued by that because I love yacht rock. Yes, it is going to be such a fun night at the ballpark here this summer. It's going to be August 28th, and there's a special scene night package. So it has an exclusive Twins captain hat, perfect for enjoying the summer breeze and reminiscing on some of the days in the past. But there will be a special pregame band with all the Yacht Rock favorites and then postgame fireworks as well to some classic Yacht Rock tunes. Full information can be found at twins.com backslash yachtrock. Okay. So many opportunities to have fun and got some good weather as well to enjoy it. I think that's a cool idea of bringing some of that Iowa fun back up here for photo ops and stuff like that. So people can take advantage of that on Saturday.
