Minnesota Twins Tending Bar, Signing Autographs in St. Louis Park

A healthy helping of the Minnesota Twins will be coming to Toby Keith's Bar and Grill next week to chow down with St. Louis Park residents, sign autographs and stir cocktails.

The baseball team is coming as part of a charity event for the Minnesota Military Family Foundation sponsored by the Twins Wives Organization.

Most of the team will be at the guitar-shaped bar on August 1, said Olivia Plouffe, the third baseman's wife, during a Monday evening radio broadcast.

But front-row access to your favorite ballplayers won't come cheap. Tickets to the private dinner, which starts at 6 p.m., cost $127.50 (or a bargain $102.50 for kids 12 and under). Barstools for the after-dinner celebration, which will run from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., cost $52.50. And autograph tickets cost an additional $5 a pop.

But if you just want to set eyes on your idol, the general public will be invited into the swarm starting at 8 p.m.

You can buy tickets now on the Twins website, where further information is also available:

So that all fans are able to get autographs and to raise as much money as possible for the Minnesota Military Family Foundation, no outside items will be allowed in. All autographs will require a ticket. Dinner ticket guests and bar stool guests can purchase autograph tickets in advance as part your order. Tickets will also be available during the event. No refunds for unused tickets. There will be items for sale that are suitable for autographs. Silent and live auctions, plus a few other surprises will be part of the evening.
