Twinkie Town is giving away some Twins prizes - and all you have to do is write the news for us.
The Hot Stove really hasn't been stoked yet this year; we're left to discuss minor-league signings and awards that don't affect the Twins. What we really need is some news - a big, big story that would get us talking and get this winter started off right.
That's where you come in. We'd like you to come up with the biggest Twins story you can think of, the more fictional the better - and if our judges like your submission the best, you'll win Twins literature. We'll name three finalists, and put the three ideas up for a vote - and if yours wins the vote, you can write up your story and we'll post it here on the site for all to see. Got a ridiculous idea? Great!
Here's how the whole thing works:
Important note: By participating in this contest, you are subject to the official rules, which can be found here.
Get out there, and get writing. To get you started, I'll give you an example - a Vikings example, in order not to steal any ideas
Headline: Christian Ponder: "Musical theater is my calling"
Summary: The Vikings will be looking for a new quarterback, as their current starter has departed for a career on the Broadway stage. Said Ponder, flinging his arms wide and leaping from the press conference podium, "You gotta have heaaaaaaart!"
And so on and so forth. Remember: creative and funny are key. If you can write a headline that belongs on the back page of the New York Post, so much the better. We'll announce the finalists next week.
