Ozzie Guillen, the former major league All-Star and manager, might have a new favorite ballpark. Guillen spent the past three nights at CHS Field raving on Twitter about his experience at the St. Paul Saints' 2-year-old stadium in Lowertown.

Guillen's son Ozney is an infielder for the Sioux Falls Canaries. The Saints won two of three games against the Canaries, but Ozzie still had a great time based off the string of tweets he posted. His final post Thursday night read "this area and the chs field is amazing."

Guillen joined the Canaries on the field for pregame batting practice, met up with former Twins star Tony Oliva, and even took time to pose for photos with fans.

"i have seen a lot stadium in my life my respect for st. paul people and they fans omg wuaoo," Guillen also posted.

The Saints took notice of Guillen's compliments by tweeting "High praise from a man who has seen A LOT in his great career."
