WHAT: This Saturday, July 26, the Minnesota Twins and Gillette Children’s are rewriting the script on heroism. Instead of just celebrating superstar athletes, we’re shining the spotlight on 10 incredible kids – patients who have complex medical conditions and showcase resilience, courage and joy through every challenge.
For the first-ever “Reverse Autograph” event at Target Field, these youth will be honored like the MVPs they are: Each one starring on their own custom Topps® baseball card, complete with a photo and personal “stats” like favorite activities and super strengths. And in a true twist, their favorite Twins players – including event champion Brooks Lee and his teammates – will be the ones collecting these cards and adding their signatures.
This unforgettable experience promises moments of connection and inspiration – where the kids are the stars and Twins players are their biggest fans.
