MINNEAPOLIS -- Fans of the Minnesota Twins left Monday for team owners' meetings in Chicago with more than 110,000 signatures on petitions urging Major League Baseball not to eliminate the team.

The group Keep the Twins at Home displayed the petitions in the shape of a baseball diamond on the Metrodome field.

Organizer Paul Ridgeway said the group hopes to give them to baseball commissioner Bud Selig, but Selig hasn't returned his calls.

Ridgeway and former Twin Frank Quilici said their caravan planned to stop in Selig's hometown of Milwaukee, and if he won't meet with them there, they'll set up a tent outside of the owners' meeting.

"Here's a message to you and the owners: Think twice about doing this to the Minnesota Twins," Quilici said.

And if Selig won't see them in Chicago, they'll park a motorhome outside his office in Milwaukee on Wednesday, Ridgeway said.

"We're not leaving without Bug Selig seeing us personally," Ridgeway said.

Team owners have voted to eliminate two teams before next season. Although the teams haven't been named, the Montreal Expos and Twins are the most likely candidates, with Florida, Tampa Bay and Oakland less-discussed possibilities.

However, an injunction obtained this month by the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, which operates the Metrodome, requires the Twins to fulfill their lease and play next season. The Twins and baseball are appealing the decision, a process that could take months unless the Minnesota Supreme Court agrees to a speedy review.
