Notes: New exhibit at Sass Stadium

The Kids project deemed a success

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Here for the Sass team revealed that there would be another new exhibit available for fans to visit before games. The Kids--pitchers Ambiorix Burgos and Brad Halsey, infielder Edwin Encarnacion, and outfielder Rocco Baldelli--have spent their time on the road trip working very diligently on this secretive project. When they returned home on Wednesday, the final results were shown to the team and front office. The four guys spent the road trip building a Lego replica of Sass Stadium.

“It’s pretty amazing, really,” said second baseman Mark Grudzielanek, “They got all the details down to the last pot of flowers in the Sass dugout.”

The guys said that they begin planning the project during the All-Star break, and had been collecting the pieces needed furiously before leaving on the 6-day road trip. They had Sass reliever and amateur photographer Rheal Cormier taking pictures of all the details of the stadium, although they did not tell him what they needed the photographs for.

“Impressive,” was the response from reliever Justin Duchscherererer, “I actually kinda want to take it apart, because I cant’ decide whether it’s a solid structure, or if under the stands I’ll find the clubhouses and offices.”

The Here for the Sass team hope to have instructions available later this year for anyone else who would like to build their own replica of the stadium. However, it is a large project and requires vast quantities of Legos, making it a project for those who are willing to put the time and effort into building something of such grandiose scale.

Apology: The assigned writer for the Here for the Sass team would like to extend her apologies for the brevity of the Sass notes lately. She finds herself exceptionally busy in her real life job, and her boss fails to understand the importance of the BFL. She also notes that creativity levels have been lower recently, but hopes to find an answer to that soon.

Losing: When the Minnesota Twins swept the Chicago White Sox this week, some Sassians took especial interest in the competition. Jermaine Dye and A.J. Pierzynski played for the Chicago team, while Michael Cuddyer and Little Nicky Punto joined the Sass from the Twins. Before the series started, bets were exchanged. With the Twins sweeping the White Sox. Jermaine will be re-organizing Michael music and movie collections into alphabetical order. A.J. will be cleaning Little Nicky’s SCUBA equipment.

Coming up: Thursday is again a MLB-sanctioned Limited Action day, so the Sass have no choice but to throw the pitching machine out on the mound again tonight, under the care of a couple of relief pitchers, who will be available if things get too rough on the mound for the machine.
