Houston Astros superfan Mattress Mack has a message for Minnesota realtor Kris Lindahl and the rest of Twins Territory ahead of Tuesday's game three of the American League Divisional Series between the Twins and Astros.
Prior to game one of the ALDS in Houston, Lindahl, known for his billboards featuring him with his outstretched arms, took out 45 billboards throughout Houston targeted at Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale that read, "Hey Mattress Mack. You've never seen Twins like this! Love, Kris Lindahl."
Mattress Mack responded with a message of his own on Monday. His message read, "My wife is a real Twin. Go Astros! – Mattress Mack."
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, McIngvale wrote, "Hey @krislindahl, thank you for putting my name on more billboards throughout Houston! My wife Linda is an actual twin and she, her sister Laura and our whole family are rooting for the Astros! As seen at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. #GoStros #BeatMinnesota."
Mattress Mack is famous for his multi-million dollar sports wagers. Last year he won $75 million after betting on the Astros to win the 2022 World Series. The payout is believed to be the largest payout in sports betting history.
McIngvale owns Gallery Furniture, which is currently running a promotion reading, "If the Astros win it all in 2023, your $3,000 mattress purchase is FREE, FREE, FREE!"
Game three of the ALDS between the Twins and Astros is Tuesday afternoon with the first pitch scheduled for 3:07 p.m. A one-hour pregame starts at 2 p.m. on News Talk 830 WCCO
