In case you’re living under a rock, a total solar eclipse crossed the entire continental USA today for the first time in 99 years. Hell, even if you are living under a rock you probably heard about it. Everyone was going crazy over it, including the Twins.
The Twins are in Chicago getting ready for tonight’s doubleheader against the White Sox and stopped practice to hold a little eclipse viewing party. Chicago was not in the path of totality, but the moon did cover 86.7% of the sun at its peak.

They look like a bunch of nerds. I love it.
Eduardo Escobar was really into the eclipse, like most things.

Kyle Gibson had some, uh, interesting eclipse-watching ideas.
Here's hoping that @kgib44's picture turns out, so our fans in MN can get a look! pic.twitter.com/EzalKwkhIk

Welp, Chris Gimenez is now blind forever. Maybe.
The one person who wasn’t into the solar eclipse? Paul Molitor.
Molitor was meh about the eclipse: "It didn't electrify me." Remembered better ones in '90s and '70s. #mntwins

Way to be a Debbie Downer, Paul.
But like all good things, the eclipse didn’t last forever.
Show's over, I guess. pic.twitter.com/vAIpuTFJMZ
