Twins internship a home run

Tyler Grabau ’14 scored big last spring, landing an internship with the Minnesota Twins that had him traveling to Target Field in the Twin Cities two, sometimes three days per week during the spring semester. His internship will continue throughout the season, until the end of September.

As a ticket office intern, the accounting and sports management major from Wabasha, Minnesota says he learned a lot about the operations of a major league baseball organization and “the amount of work that takes place months before the team takes the field in early April.” He’s helped people over the phone, as well as face to face. He says every ticket sale is like sharing a piece of the excitement. Besides the many aspects of ticket sales and distribution, Tyler assisted with the All-Star Game, Home Run Derby, TwinsFest and other events at Target Field.
