Översikt
The Minnesota Twins are a Major League Baseball franchise based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, competing in the American League Central Division. Originally established as the Washington Senators in 1901, the franchise relocated to Minnesota in 1961 and quickly became a cornerstone of the Twin Cities sports landscape. The Twins play their home games at Target Field, a downtown Minneapolis ballpark that opened in 2010. The franchise has captured three World Series titles — 1924 as the Washington Senators, and 1987 and 1991 as the Minnesota Twins. The back-to-back championship runs remain central to the club's identity, with the 1991 Series often cited as one of the most dramatic in modern baseball history. The Twins have built a reputation for developing homegrown talent and competing fiercely in one of the American League's most competitive divisions.
