Unfortunately I live on the east coast so I only get a chance to see the Twins play when they play a team out this way. Thanks for the idea anyway.

Before the season starts, there's a good chance that the team will post when the Twins Wives Organization will have a kiosk at one of the home games. Try to make it out to one, or find someone going to one of the games and see if they're available.

I wonder if the cookbook can be purchased online. I live too far away to make it to Twinsfest but I love to cook and the money goes to good cause. I would love to get one.

Carl's got several Italian recipes featured (no surprise there), and they're even grouped together near the back for a big Italian dinner for the family:

* Roasted red pepper and prosciutto flatbread
* Caprese salad with cucumber
* Spaghetti and meatballs with Italian sausage
* Ricotta pie
* Wine: Ruffino Reserva Ducale Classico Chianti

Picked up the cookbook the Twins Wives were selling at TwinsFest. Some super-cute pictures of the kids in there. I'll upload them when I get a chance.

No word on if Carl will do TwinsFest. The players appearing usually aren't announced until mid-January. The schedules are posted online the week of TwinsFest (who's appearing where and when - radio interview, kids' Q&A, fan photos, autographs, etc.). As for the cost, everything is a la carte. It was $10 per day to get into TwinsFest 2011. Autographs typically cost $10-$25, and you can get up to 3 or 4 at each signing. Certain player autographs will be pricier, and some will even charge more for signing items like bats or jerseys, or for inscriptions. There may also be restrictions on what a player will sign, usually due to contracts with memorabilia dealers. (e.g. No game-used, no rookie cards, no bats, no HOF inscriptions.) Photos were $3 per player at TwinsFest 2011. With all the autograph and photo lines, you don't pay until you get to the front of the line. And it all goes to charity, so the players aren't pocketing anything.

Carl did TwinsFest in 2010 but not 2011. My guess is he either didn't re-sign in time to be there, or he had already made plans for that weekend.

Will Carl be there? So you pay to get in and meet the players get autographs and chat with them?

TwinsFest is the annual fan festival held each year at the end of January. TwinsFest 2012 is January 27-29, 2012, at the Metrodome. The Twins usually announce who will be there in advance and post schedules and maps ahead of time so attendees can plan accordingly. (Of course, all player appearances are subject to change.)
