The Twins didn’t start off the 2024 home schedule with a winner, but their fans are eager to see what the team can do this year.
MINNEAPOLIS — Few people at Target Field were more excited for the Minnesota Twins’ home opener than Sue Nelson.
Nelson, the team’s full-time organist since 1999, kicked off her 26th season in the booth on Thursday with an extra dose of enthusiasm, fueled by last year’s run to the American League Division Series.
