Purple Very Much In Fashion at Alzheimer's Association Twins Night
More than 600 supporters donned purple t-shirts and cheered the Twins onto a thrilling 5-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners at the 6th annual Alzheimer's Association Twins Night on June 1. 

Participants also took part in a pre-game parade on and around the field and gathered to lead the crowd in the singing of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch. Doug Darsow threw out the ceremonial first pitch on behalf of the Association as well. It was a fantastic day thanks to everyone who was a part of it!
