The Minnesota Twins are running their first television commercial for the 2010 season, featuring Joe Mauer and other Twins being moved to the new stadium in much the way a family moves into a new home.
The ad for the Twins inaugural season at Target Field is titled "Twins-portation" and also features Mauer teammates Michael Cuddyer, Denard Span and Joe Nathan and a cameo appearance by former Twins manager Tom Kelly.
Out of a moving truck comes Mauer on a dolly, Span and Cuddyer in a box filled with packing peanuts and Joe Nathan being taken to the bullpen by two beefy movers.
A moving company foreman turns back a White Sox fan being unloaded in an easy chair, prompting dry and sarcastic sympathy from Manager Kelly.
Fans can view the new ad at www.twinsbaseball.com.
