Twins announce plans for 2019 Winter Caravan presented by Case IH

The Minnesota Twins announced plans Thursday for the club's 59th annual Twins Winter Caravan presented by Case IH. The 2019 Twins Winter Caravan features stops in more than 40 communities throughout Twins Territory between Monday, January 14 and Thursday, January 24.
"The Minnesota Twins are proud to have Case IH as the presenting sponsor of Winter Caravan," said Twins Executive Vice President, Chief Business Officer Laura Day. "Twins Caravan offers both organizations a chance to connect with communities throughout the Midwest."
The Twins Winter Caravan is one of the longest-running and most extensive offseason team caravans in professional sports. It features groups of current and former players visiting schools, hospitals, corporations and service clubs during the day with a traditional "hot stove" program each evening.
This year's Twins Winter Caravan will once again focus on engagement with baseball fans throughout Twins Territory. Designated schools will feature a "Playball" initiative that will incorporate hands-on baseball activities between our players and select participants. Additionally, the second annual Twins Ice Fishing Classic will launch on Monday, January 21 at Madison Lake. 
Members of the Treasure Island Baseball Network and Fox Sports North broadcast teams, including Bert Blyleven, Dick Bremer, Dan Gladden, Cory Provus, Jack Morris and Kris Atteberry, will lead Twins Winter Caravan tours.
