Minnesota Twins

The Minnesota Twins play at Target Field, an open-air ballpark in downtown Minneapolis known for its brick-and-glass design and frequently frigid early-season games. Originally the Washington Senators, the franchise moved to the Twin Cities in 1961 and has been a fixture of the American League Central ever since. The navy-and-red colors and "TC" cap logo represent the Twin Cities region as a whole. Minnesota fans are known for the Homer Hanky tradition during deep playoff runs.

The franchise dates to 1901 as the original Washington Senators, winning a World Series title in 1924 before relocating to Minnesota in 1961 and becoming the Twins. Under the Metrodome's noisy, quirky conditions, the Twins won championships in 1987 and 1991, both capped by dramatic Game 7 wins at home. Hall of Famers Harmon Killebrew, Rod Carew, Kirby Puckett, and Joe Mauer have all worn the Twins uniform. Three total championships span both the Washington and Minnesota eras of the franchise.
