Spirit Halloween Assumes Retail Operations at Target Field

When you part with 40% of your team at the trade deadline, it creates a substantial inventory of souvenir jerseys, shirts, hoodies, and other memorabilia that are immediately dead stock. The question of what to do with a warehouse full of these things is not easily solvable. You need experts.

That’s where Spirit Halloween comes in.

The spooky season retailer, which specializes in taking over abandoned storefronts and filling them with costumes, masks, and decorations, will assume control of the Minnesota Twins’ brick-and-mortar company store at Target Field through the rest of October.

But it won’t be your typical Halloween outlet.

“While there won’t be any Star Wars or Disney costumes, we will be your go-to source for dressing up as former members of the 2025 Minnesota Twins,” said Brynn Kowalczyk, a spokesperson for the retailer. “We think Spooky Griffin Jax will be a big hit among this year’s trick-or-treaters.”

Kowalczyk dismissed those skeptical of a market for medium Harrison Bader shirseys and oversized Willi Castro hoodies.

“What if it’s cold outside,” she asked. “Even if you’re Darth Vader or Moana, this long-sleeve Jhoan Duran base layer will protect you from the elements. And at 15% off suggested retail, it’s a great deal.”

For objects that aren’t inherently scary, Kowalczyk says Spirit Halloween will amp up the spookiness.

“Every piece of Carlos Correa merch comes with a rundown of how much money the Twins still owe him, and what those funds could be used for in a challenging and fluid corporate real estate market. It’s the kind of horror that sticks with you.”

When asked why there were also Joe Ryan and Pablo López jerseys and pullovers available, Kowalcyzk winked and ended the interview.

Well, at least the facility is readily available for the entire Halloween season!

I love the part about Pablo and Joe's jerseys. I wonder if their might be a RandBalls Stu jersey available as well, with the lawsuit coming in from Gleeman possibly forcing you out of business.

Good one!  The premise alone made me laugh.

Going trick or treating as the Ghost of Louie Varland would be a home run!

One of Stu’s best. 
I hear that the Ty France-Instine jersey is going like hotcakes.
