Today the Twins officially opened their new home, Target Field with a 5-2 victory over Boston.  With opening new stadiums comes the first home run, the first save and many other “first ” things.  Here are a few firsts for all you die hard Twins fans.  This was also the first time in franchise history that the Twins had won a stadium opener. When Minnesota opened Metropolitan Stadium in 1961, they fell to the Washington Senators, 5-3. In 1982, the Twins opened the Metrodome by losing to the Seattle Mariners, 11-7.
