I had the joy of attending Twinsfest 2025 on January 25, 2025 marking the 19th time I have attended Twinsfest. I secured 15 player autographs including 4 players I did not have giving me signed cards from 775 different current and former Twins.
The day’s highlights including getting Carlos Correa’s autograph and making it through 3 different lines during the 12-1 pm signing sessions. The key to making it through multiple lines, in case anyone is wondering, is picking the less popular players stations.
One of the bigger draws this year was a person who has never played in the big leagues – prospect Walker Jenkins. Everyone thinks he is going to be next Hall of Famer to play for the Twins. Of course, lots of people, including myself, thought Miguel Sano, Bryon Buxton, and Royce Lewis were going to be the next big deal and though they each had moments, none looks headed for the Hall of Fame. However, hope springs eternal and Walker Jenkins line was so long, it had to be cut off.
For the most part I could not complain about the lines being too long and it was a fairly low key day which worked out well for me.
I enjoyed myself this year and hope I can make it to Twinsfest 2026.
Here is the list of players I got autographs from:
