nEven though the New York Yankees ended the Minnesota Twins’ playoff hopes on Saturday night, the first season in Target Field was lined with attendance records and an American League Central Division Championship, not to mention a new relationship with Mayo Clinic to help improve the health of Twins fans.n
nThroughout the 2010 season, Mayo Clinic provided on-site health screenings for thousands of fans at Target Field — including blood pressure and cholesterol checks, Body Mass Index calculations, as well as orthopedic surgery and sports medicine screenings and education.n

n
nIn-stadium signage at all Target Field games included health tips read by Twins players, and pregame radio interviews with Mayo Clinic physicians provided more in-depth information on health topics, including:n
- n
- Four ways to prevent a heart attack
- Organ donation — Kobe’s heart transplant story
- Minimally-invasive heart surgery
- Signs of a heart attack
- Stroke warning signs and prevention
- Brain cancer research
- Epilepsy treatment and research
- Alzheimer’s disease research and preventing cognitive impairment

I am a former left-handed pitcher in the late 50′s and i threw a lot of curve balls . now i am at age 71 and haved developed pain in my left shoulder, constant pain, aspirin helps some not enough. i can reachedto the ceiling sometimes without any pain but when i bring it down it feels bad. one time i was so much pain that when i went to the y i pulled the paper towel down hard with it i coould have went thru the floor but then the pain left and i thought i had cured my pain. i went golfing thurs and my partner told me that i need to take the club back farther and go all the way forward and it seems like when i came thru and turn my left shoulder down and over on the other side. i did but no pain or pop and the pain came later any answers would be helpful i ;need no more cortiosone shots ;thad
