Kirk Cousins is one of the most famous people in Minnesota. He can probably get anything he wants, anywhere in the state. But, by NFL quarterback standards, he seems like a pretty normal guy. He wears lame clothes and loves to fire up the grill on his days off (even if what he cooks doesn’t always look appetizing).
So when Cousins felt like catching some playoff baseball on Tuesday afternoon, he didn’t have his assistant contact the Twins to put him in a luxury suite, he just went online and bought the tickets from a reseller, just like any other fan would do, he told reporters Wednesday. The Vikings quarterback posted a photo on his Instagram story of himself and his family enjoying a day at the ballpark.
Kirk Cousins + family made a last-minute decision to attend Tuesday's MLB playoff at Target Field. Bought tickets online and were off after the boys' naps. Fans around him slowly caught on. “I could tell that word was getting around the section,” he said, “but it was great." pic.twitter.com/f4hGvcMTKy
