Funny In Theory
Fun Is Good. That has been the St. Paul Saints Baseball Club's motto for 32 seasons. They are a minor league baseball team that has become known for their wacky, crazy, and sometimes outlandish promotions. From a nun giving massages during a game to ballpark-wide food and pillow fights, they are always trying to come up with that next big idea. Funny In Theory goes behind the scenes of the St. Paul Saints Entertainment Team with Entertainment Director, Joshua Will, and Vice President, Brand Marketing & Experience, Sierra Bailey. Together they will share stories about the entertainment side of the St. Paul Saints; they will talk about how different promotions came to be, strategies they use for coming up with ideas, behind the scenes details of games that fans haven't heard before, and, more often than not, they will get sidetracked and go off on a hilarious tangent. Because, like an on-field promo, no matter how much you plan for it to go one way, you never know which direction it may go. So join us every week for a good laugh and some insights into the world of the St. Paul Saints.

Former Saints Manager, Toby Gardenhire | Ep. 146
In Episode 146, we’re joined by former St. Paul Saints manager Toby Gardenhire. During the offseason, Toby was promoted to the Minnesota Twins organization as Field Coordinator and bench coach, and he was gracious enough to stop by before heading across the river to reflect on his five seasons with Josh & Sierra.
We dive into Toby’s early career as both a ballplayer and a coach, his role as the Saints’ first manager as a Triple-A affiliate, and what the transition was like for both sides of the partnership. Plenty of great stories you won’t want to miss—so be sure to listen and follow us on social media @funnnyintheory.
