So, when do they open the two gates at Target Field?
I can only assume that since there is a gate for each retired number, that gate 28 and gate 10 are being put in this off-season?
(And a well-deserved congrats to TK.)

I'm guessing the color commentary that he did finally put him over the top and made them decide to retire #10 now.
Gotta love the diamond cutters!

You can be sure it won't be long
One of his pet peeves was pre-game activities that delayed the start of the game.
I would love to see this
Tom Kelly, in a suit, steps up to the microphone podium in the infield.
TK: “Thank you.”

Tom Kelly at Microphone to Give Acceptance Speech
“I don’t want to delay the game here so I’ve prepared two speeches, a short one and a long one but seeing as how I don’t have a lot of time I’ll just give the short one, ‘Thank you.’
Well looks like their saying they want me to say some more so I’ll give my long speech, ‘Thank you very much.’
Walks off.
Remember, remember the seventh of November.

Haha I know
I just get the impression TK would be very similar to this…
Remember, remember the seventh of November.
Here is how I imagine it:
TK: “I am a man of few words.”
Then Tom Kelly walks away.

Joe C. said TK was supposed to give a speech last night and couldn't do it because he was too emotional

When they retired Bert’s number I was like “Um hai wait u guys…”

Does it make me a bad person that I think Tom Kelly is overrated?
It probably does.
"There are only two things that are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein
I certainly understand that
I don’t think Cooperstown will ever induct him.
But comparing Kelly’s postseason performance (4 series wins, 0 losses) to how the Twins done since he left (1-6) and even how we did before he was manager (0-3).
So, I figure why not. Honoring the guy who managed the winners. Pretty easy to rationalize that one.
He's just had such an impact on the organization
I mean, TK is the father of “the Twins Way”

TK was the manager I grew up with
He has two World Series rings, all other Twins’ managers combined have none. Retire that number!
The beard abides.
