The 2010 season is shaping up to be an exciting one in Minnesota. The AL Central is up for grabs, the Twins have arguably the best player in baseball behind the plate, and Target Field is finally opening. The Maple Street Press Twins Annual 2010 has all the information you need to get ready for those cold April nights, and hot summer days in Target Field.
Edited by the folks who bring you TwinsCentric, the Annual features some of the best Twins writers and analysts from the web and print. More than just your typical pre-season magazine with a few pages dedicated to the Twins the MSP Twins Annual features 128 pages dedicated to the team, including:
