Minnesota Twins Seasons

The Minnesota Twins, formerly the Washington Senators, are a professional baseball franchise currently based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They currently play in the American League Central Division.

The Twins have won three World Series in 1924, 1987 and 1991, the first of which occurred when they were still based in Washington. As the Senators they struggled between the 1920s and 1950s and again throughout the period from 1971 to 1986 when the Twins never played in the postseason. The Twins also had eight straight losing seasons from 1993 to 2000, but then had their most consistent period of success from 2001 to 2010 with only one losing season in 2007. However, the Twins failed to reach another World Series during this period and have fallen substantially in 2011 and 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words twins and/or seasons:

“There is absolutely no evidence—developmental or otherwise—to support separating twins in school as a general policy. . . . The best policy seems to be no policy at all, which means that each year, you and your children need to decide what will work best for you.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)

“The seasons change their manners, as the year
Had found some months asleep and leapt them over.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
