The Strib delves into the Twins' musical tastes. The results may surprise and disturb you:
We asked several famous folks at the Metrodome to name their dream double-bill for a concert in a ballpark:"Incubus and Audioslave. Because everything they do doesn't sound the same. They have heavier stuff and more mellow stuff. They have variation."
Justin Morneau,Twins first baseman"Eric B & Rakim. I like old-school music. And 2Pac. That's my dream. I don't like the music today."
Torii Hunter, Twins centerfielder"I don't listen to much mainstream. I listen to some Christian. Mercy Me -- and Bon Jovi. Mix 'em up."
Lew Ford, Twins outfielder/designated hitter"Stevie Wonder. He's my favorite what-do-you-call it? -- musician. Of the new age stuff, [Justin] Timberlake. I like the way he dances and entertains."
Matthew LeCroy, Twins catcher/designated hitter"I'd have to say Mr. [Bernie] Williams of the Yankees, and bring back Count Basie with Sinatra. That's major league. Sinatra was my favorite of all time. Nobody brought America together like he did. I bought Bernie Williams' album. I was really surprised he was that good. Good rhythm, good tone. I do like that kind of music."
Bob Casey, Twins stadium announcer
"Willie Nelson and [the cast of the musical] 'Cats.' That's a good combination. And Mickey and Minnie, too. George Strait. Pure country. Him instead of Willie."
Bert Blyleven, Twins TV announcer
"You have to have the Rolling Stones. And Dylan. And Elton John. Only two? Give me all three and I'll take the rest of the year off."
Chris Berman, ESPN broadcaster
