Flash mob at the Twins game

Let the record show that the Minnesota Twins are 1-0 whenever a flash mob appears at Target Field. Someone just posted this flash mob scene on YouTube, from Thursday's game with the Boston Red Sox. It starts about 2 1/2 minutes in.

A much shorter video is at Minneapolis.org.

Update 5:21 p.m. - Another video has just been posted. A different perspective.

That's awesome! One of my friends from high school frequently dances in flash mobs. I was looking for him in there, but I don't think he was there. Thanks for posting that! I probably never would have seen it otherwise :)

What America needs now is a flash mob of really good sound engineers.

That was a sponsored and practiced Flash mob. That seems a little wrong somehow. Flash mobs seem to be best when anarchy of some degree is part of the equation and when you've never meet the people previously (Think Best Buy employee stunt, Abercrombie topless regular guys).

Plus - watch www.minneapolis.org by early next week to see an official, edited video! It'll be worth another look!
