The vendor known as Wally the Beer Man will be selling suds during the Minnesota Twins playoff run after all, but not at Target Field.

WCCO-TV reports Sunday that Wally will be selling to the bar crowd at Sneaky Pete's in downtown Minneapolis during the home playoff games.
Wally, whose real name is Walter NcNeil, says it's not like being at Target Field, but it beats sitting at home and watching the game on television.
