The 2014 Minnesota Twins Winter Caravan is underway with a group of players, past and present, along with media members patrolling Minnesota, Iowa and North Dakota between now and Jan. 23.
The Winter Caravan started with a radio interview with BMTN’s Eric Perkins, who wakes up bright and early Monday-Friday to host the morning show on 96.3 K-TWIN – the radio home of Twins baseball.
