DMcDBarry: According to NYT archives first ball thrown out at Twins inaugural game (against NY on April 11 at Yankee Stadium) was by Borough President James J. Lyons. First ball thrown out at Minnesota's home opener (on April 21 versus "new" Washington Senators) was by Governor Elmer Anderson. Either way I think I am missing something. I thought the answer was going to be someone cool like Bob Dylan or Baby Jay Behrens.
