Minnesota Twins

At a Glance

Introduction

The Minnesota Twins trace their roots to the original Washington Senators, one of the American League’s eight charter franchises founded in 1901. After six decades in the nation’s capital, the franchise relocated to Minnesota in 1961 and became the Twins, representing both Minneapolis and St. Paul. While the early Senators struggled to find sustained success outside of the legendary Walter Johnson era, the move to Minnesota ushered in a new chapter that transformed the organization into one of baseball’s most respected franchises. Across more than a century of history, the Twins have been home to Hall of Famers, MVPs, Cy Young winners, and some of the game’s most memorable championship moments.

Since arriving in Minnesota, the Twins have competed in the American League, joining the AL West from 1969 to 1993 before becoming a member of the AL Central in 1994. The franchise has captured three World Series championships and has produced a remarkable collection of legendary players, including Harmon Killebrew, Rod Carew, Kirby Puckett, Tony Oliva, Bert Blyleven, Joe Mauer, Johan Santana, and Kent Hrbek. From the dramatic World Series triumphs of 1987 and 1991 to decades of outstanding individual performances, the Twins have built a rich baseball tradition in the Upper Midwest. This hub brings together the franchise’s greatest players, historic seasons, statistical leaders, all-time rosters, and other resources celebrating the complete history of the Minnesota Twins franchise.
