Twins History

Over the franchises long history, the Twins have won two World Series Championships in 1987 and 1991. Some historians include the 1924 title which they won under the Washington Senators team. Over the years the Twins are known for their hardcore fans who can get pretty loud about their team.

The Twins 2009 season was filled with drama that reached its height of emotion with a heart-wrenching win over the Detroit Tigers in one of the greatest single-division-title, play-off games in history. Unfortunately the twirling Twins towels got doused by the New York Yankees in the first round of the American League Playoffs, but that should not stop the Twins from being grateful for an exceptional year that gave the team its first playoff post-season appearance since 1987.
