The Maple Street Press 2010 Minnesota Twins Annual is TwinsCentric's most expansive effort yet. It includes a broad range of writers and has put the design phase into the hands of the talented professionals at Maple Street Press.
The magazine will cater to the tastes of the casual and hardcore fan alike. Articles will cover the Twins from a multitude of different angles, with some delving into advanced statistics and others providing more traditional analysis. You'll find player profiles, prospects rankings, position-by-position breakdowns of the Twins' organizational depth, extensive coverage of Target Field, a lengthy interview with Ron Gardenhire, historical narratives on past Twins seasons and tons more. The list of contributing writers is vast, consisting of veteran journalists, respected authors and of course plenty of familiar names from the Twins blogosphere.
We're really excited about this publication, and know its contents will appeal to Twins fans of all stripes. It's available locally wherever books and magazines are sold, but you can pre-order your copy here. |  |
