Playoff Hopes Are Alive For Fan Appreciation Weekend at Target Field

The Minnesota Twins return home from a successful road trip just one game out of the final American League Wild Card spot.  The atmosphere at Target Field should be electric as they return home for the final three games of the season, and it's also Fan Appreciation Weekend.

The Twins will celebrate with a weekend of exciting prizes for all fans.  Here is a list of the fun things going on:

The odds are against the Twins clinching a playoff spot, but what a season it has been.  Who would've thought that they would even be in a playoff race at the end of the year?

At the beginning of the season, I remember telling people that if they were within 10 games of .500 it would be a successful year as long at they brought up some of their top prospects.  Paul Molitor has this young team believing in themselves and future seasons promise to be even more fun.
