Meltdown Countdown: Thank You For Joining Us

This year’s Winter Meltdown included two free 612 Brew craft beers, a free Winter Meltdown pint glass, drink specials, a Pick & Shovel prize pack, autographed prizes and swag from Pizza Luce. We also had a panel discussion with our new Twins beat writers - Betsy Helfand of The Pioneer Press, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com and Dan Hayes of The Athletic.

But Michael Cuddyer was the headliner and lived up to every kind word that was written about him over his 15-year major league career. He entertained on stage, wandered through the crowd, had endless pictures taken with fans and even performed a magic trick for some of Twins Daily's forum moderators.

If you want to be part of the fun, you can download the Gleeman and the Geek podcast of the event and start looking forward to next year. You can also participate in Fan Duel's Winter Meltdown Contest and win an autographed picture of Justin Morneau.

Thank you to all those who came and all those who continue to support Twins Daily with their work and attention. We could not do any of this without you.
