Twins go purple to honor hometown icon Prince

The Twins played in Milwaukee Thursday, but that didn't stop them from honoring Prince at their home stadium.

The Twins lit up Target Field in Minneapolis in purple and put the iconic musician on the stadium's scoreboard. Prince, a Minneapolis native who lived his entire life in the Twin Cities area, died Thursday at the age of 57.
