Baseball fans of all ages with a 2013 Minnesota hunting or fishing license can buy discounted tickets online to six Minnesota Twins games and receive a free regulation blaze orange Twins logo baseball cap as part of a special promotion with the Department of Natural Resources.
"Hunting, fishing and the Twins are all big parts of Minnesota's culture," Jenifer Wical, DNR customer enhancement manager, said in a news release. "This is a great deal for those who love the outdoors and outdoors baseball."
The special rate starts with the April 13 afternoon home game against the New York Mets. It also includes home games on April 27-28 against the Texas Rangers, Aug. 3 against the Houston Astros, Aug. 18 against the Chicago White Sox and Sept. 7 against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Discounted ticket prices range from $12 to $20, depending on the game.
"The DNR is able to provide an additional value to its first-time or longtime license buyers," said Phil McMullen, Twins ticket sales executive. "For us, it's a way to express our appreciation for those who have contributed to fish and wildlife conservation through their license purchase."
