Meet Minnesota Twins Rookie Kyle Gibson Tonight at Fan HQ in Minnetonka

Gibson is scheduled to arrive at Fan HQ around 7 p.m.

Baseball fans will have a chance to meet Twins rookie pitcher Kyle Gibson tonight (Monday, July 15) at Fan HQ in Minnetonka. It will be the top prospect's first public autograph appearance since joining the Twins earlier this summer.

Gibson's guest appearance comes less than 24 hours after he gave up two just runs over five innings en route to a win over the New York Yankees in the Bronx.

Tickets are required to obtain an autograph. Prices vary, but a signature on a ball or photo will cost $15. Personalized inscriptions, with a maximum of four words, can also be purchased for an additional $10.

Gibson regularly includes reference to a favorite Bible verse in many of his signatures—from Ephesians—that begins with "For it is by grace you have been saved." 

Gibson was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the first round of the 2009 draft. The Indiana native won his major league debut,a 6-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals on June 29, and is 2-2 since being called up from the minors.

Gibson is scheduled to arrive at Fan HQ around 7 p.m. 

The Twins have off until Thursday for the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.
