Minnesota cab driver has no idea who the Twins are

When Tigers’ pitcher Joel Zumaya went down, GM Dave Dombrowski called up minor-leaguer Casey Fien from AAA Toledo to replace him. Crunched for time, Fien hopped on a plane to Minnesota and arrived with a few hours to spare.

That is until he encountered, what can only be described, as the dumbest cabbie in Minneapolis. Not only was he not familiar with where the Minnesota Twins played, he in fact had no idea who they were.

I got into a cab at the airport and the driver didn’t know who the Twins were or where the stadium was

At one point the driver got out of the cab and started asking random people for directions.
“He was saying, ‘I have a player in there and he needs to get to the stadium,’” Fien said. “I was like, ‘Man, please don’t.’ Then, they had that Justin Bieber concert going on at the Target Center and he tried to drop me off where Bieber’s limos were. I said, ‘No, man, not there.’”

In the tech age of GPS navigation, smart phones, and uh, CB radio, you’d think the cab driver would have maybe figured this out a little quicker. Amazes me that a cabbie at a major city airport has not ONCE had a fare to the city’s sports teams stadium

Guess the Twins aren’t as popular as we all thought.

And as always, I’d like to blame Justin Bieber for once again infiltrating all that is good in the world and inserting himself and a bunch of 12-year-old girls into a sports story. Only a matter of time before Bieber’s Minnesota Twins is a trending topic on twitter.
