I flew to Minnesota JUST to catch an ULTRA-RARE baseball! (Jim Kaat Day at Target Field)

    Why is this video so long? Because it was an EPIC day at Target Field. Chicago White Sox pitcher Dylan Cease helped get the action started by throwing a baseball to me in the second deck, but the main story was the pre-game ceremony for Hall of Famer Jim Kaat. From the bobblehead giveaway to the former Minnesota Twins legends in attendance (Rod Carey, Tony Oliva, Kent Hrbek, and more) to the commemorative balls in use during the game, there was truly no shortage of excitement.
    Shoutout to a young man named Trey Redman -- a HUGE fan whom I met during the late innings. Unfortunately I didn't get any video footage with him, but I want everyone reading this to know that he's awesome.

    This video was filmed on July 16, 2022 by "Fenway Chris" (@yonnernyc) and it was edited by Zac Gutherman (@zg_films). Thanks for watching!

      @@zackhample Its really adds a different dimension to MLB youtube channels where the rest of the MLB youtube channels are more about news, stats and arguing over who has the best team, etc. While your channel really gives people at home watching youtube a different perspective about what its like to be in attendance of so many different stadiums and get to see parts of the stadiums most people usually don't get to see.
