Minnesota Twins

The first baseball team to be named after an entire state, the Minnesota Twins has had a varied history. Here is a look at Minnesota Twins baseball.

The Minnesota Twins logo has changed little throughout the years. The team was originally designed to honor the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and for a long time the logo featured a pair of baseball-geared twins shaking hands, and the letters “TC” on the cap. While the “TC” was retired and then brought back out, the current logo simply features the team’s name.

The Minnesota Twins that we know today arrived in Minnesota in 1961. The name was chosen to represent the twin cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul, and so became the first team to be named after a state. The state welcomed the team with great excitement. In 1965, the Minnesota Twins wpm the American League Pennant. Unfortunately, they lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers at the World Series. It took over 20 years for the team to return, when they beat the St. Louis Cardinals in 1987.

The future of the Twins should prove to be interesting. The Twins had wanted to move the Metrodome, since it did not generate enough revenue to be competitive; there were comparably low luxury suite leasing, small concession sales, and season ticket seats. The new stadium was finally approved in 2006. The Twins Ballpark is slated to take over a parking lot in downtown Minneapolis. It will be within walking distance of the Target Center, and the Hiawatha Light Rail Line is going to be extended to the area. The plans should be completed and the stadium in place for the 2010 playing season. You can find updated information on the new site on the official site.
