Hey kids, want to play like your favorite catcher? Then you better throw away those old cleats, as they can't handle the heat of a Minnesota spring. In anticipation of Minnesota's new open air stadium, Bauer (TM) has teamed up with Joe Mauer to design the perfect on-field cleat. Combining an innovative single spike system with an unusually high ankle, these cleats, the official on-field cleat of the Minnesota Twins, make it easier for Joe Mauer to crouch, explode on his delivery to second, and swiftly round the bases. Remember, when deciding what cleats to buy, it's only Bauer for Mauer!

am I missing something here?
The Twins' new open air stadium opening in April of 2010, in Minnesota. He's gonna need those Joe Mauers.
I am curious to see how the new open air stadium is going to play in Minnesota. Are they betting that global warming will allow them to play games in April and October without snow storms? Or will they have to open an auxiliary stadium in Arizona to play home games in the early and late months.
I think they'll find ways to cope. I suspect snow shoes will be in order, and perhaps a team of sleigh dogs to ferry the manager or pitching coach to and from the dugout.
An open air stadium in Minnesota is such a bad idea, but at least the new Joe Mauer's will help.
Am I the only one that doesn't think this is THE WORST IDEA EVER (the open air stadium, I mean)? Cleveland doesn't have a dome, and not only does that place have awful weather, it's infested with all sorts of crazy animals and whatnot. Neither of the Chicago teams have a dome. The Rockies certainly don't have a dome. So it'll be (really, really) cold (and probably snow sometimes); it's cold in NY too.
The idea of sleigh dogs ferrying the coaches to and from the dugout is pretty hysterical, though.
It's definitely the worst idea ever. April in Minnesota is like the ice planet Hoth, without Han Solo to save your arse when you get trapped outside.
