Minnie and Paul and Ray




On May 18, the same day we attended the Twins, game Ray Barton passed away. Ray's most visible legacy is the iconic illustration of Minnie and Paul in their uniforms shaking hands acoss the Mississippi river. It became the Twins' logo soon after its creation in 1961. They say he never really liked it, but the happy image is beloved by several generations of fans and is the centerfield focal point of the new stadium.
