On their way to 101 wins, the AL Central Division title and the post season, the Twins launched a new MLB-record 307 “Bombas.” The team’s on-the-field (and over-the-fence) success led the Twins and Delaware North Sportservice to launch a few “Bombas” of their own – a host of over-the-top, Bomba-inspired food items for the Target Field post-season menu.
Let’s face it, a division title and post-season play tastes pretty darn good. Well, here’s a preview of the new tastes fans will find at the ballpark this October. Photos: Delaware North Sportservice.
The Bomba Brat
A two-foot Kramarczuk’s bratwurst, with seasoned kraut and spicy mustard. Available in Sections 127 and 302.
The Bomba Pretzel Bat
Another two-foot offering … a pretzel, served with beer cheese dipping sauce and creole mustard. Available at Bat & Barrel.
I plan to get there early and take a swing at one of these.
The Boomstick
Inspired by Nelson “Boomstick” Cruz’ 41 dingers … a two-foot hot dog, smothered in ballpark chili, nacho cheese, grilled onions and jalapenos. Available in Sections 127 and 302.
The Grand Salami
Score big with a two-foot pretzel bat, loaded with salami, capicola, mortadella, provolone cheese, roasted red peppers and arugala. These are truly the flavors of a championship run. Available at Bat & Barrel and suites.
