Let’s Celebrate Baseball! at the Mall of America

FOX Sports North teamed up with FILO to put on “Let’s Celebrate Baseball!” at the Mall of America Rotunda on Sunday, April 17th from 12pm – 3pm. Youth of all ages came to participate in free baseball activities and learn more about the sport. Some of the activities included a pitching inflatable where the speed of the throw would be measured, a hitting machine, Twins PLINKO, Twins Guess Who, and a photo opportunity with a FOX Sports backdrop and props that allowed fans to go home with a lanyard souvenir to remember the day.

A great crowd came throughout the event, with many fans in Twins apparel waiting outside the entrance of the area before it opened at noon. One of the newest FOX Sports North personalities, Audra Martin, was also available to sign autographs and talk with fans. The Twins played the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Target Field that afternoon, with the game starting at 1:10pm; this was shown on the large screen in the Rotunda. The hometown team came from behind to tie the game in the 8th inning and won the game in the 12th, making it one of the most exciting games of the year so far and completing the three-game sweep of the Angels.

FILO Productions worked on more than 10 events with FOX Sports North in 2015, and looks to continue the great working relationship through 2016 with events like “Let’s Celebrate Baseball!”
