Last night the Minnesota Twins hosted a fun filled and exciting concert to kickoff their inaugural season. The stage was located on Lake Minnetonka with enough room for 1,000 lucky fans. The band that would rock the night away? The Zac Brown Band.

When asked how the Minnesota Twins decided on the Zac Brown Band, SemiCharmedMike responded with, “We feel like Zac’s music is very contagious and promotes a sense of pride for one’s home. We also like to drink a lot with our toes in the water and our asses in the sand.”

As 1,000 fans danced to songs such as “Colder Weather” and “Home Grown”, there was a special situation brewing. Earlier in the day, Free Agent RHP JE_25 showed up on his private boat to meet with Twins’ General Manager. The heavily sought after free agent is considered the best relief pitcher on the market and could be a future All Star Closer. While JE_25 enjoyed most of the concert aboard his boat, he did meet SCM on shore during the song “Chicken Fried” and they were seen shaking hands.

If the Twins are able to sign JE_25, he would be the 6th player on their roster who are homegrown Minnesotans. This possibility is looking good as JE_25 tweeted this earlier today:

The Zac Brown Band had a few surprises of their own. Near the end of the show, they sang their own rendition of “We’re Gonna Win Twins” and all 1,000 fans were singing along. The 12 Minnesota Twins players including TwinkiePower, HaschoinShitstorm, and jmarnette were also in attendance and got on stage to sing with Zac and hand out signed baseballs. This became one of the best moments of the night, and only got better when Haschoin ripped his shirt off and tossed it into a group of ladies. TwinkiePower chuckled softly at this and stood stoically as his own group of lady fans reached out to touch his balls.

Overall, the event was a huge success. I overhead at least 3 people talk about maybe buying season tickets. So that’s a win. The Twins’ General Manager is already planning next year’s kickoff concert and Ke$ha’s name is already being thrown around as the headliner.
