Helmut Kohl would love Target Field

Nice find.

Stensation, out at today's Twins game at Target Field, filed that picture report to brighten our day shortly after the Crain wreck let a close game get out of hand. (Note: Jesse Crain had been looking great early in the season until today).

In any event, please do enjoy that picture of famous ex-Twin Rich Chiles' batting "helmut." As Stensation notes, some of the kinks at the new park are being worked out. While taking in some of the action today, we also noticed players' on-base percentage and slugging percentage stats were transposed on the main scoreboard.

They'll figure all these things out over there. In the mean time, the former German chancellor would be proud.
