Growth of MLB Minnesota Twins

MLB, short for Major League Baseball, is the highest level of baseball to compete in throughout the whole world. It has many professional teams, Minnesota Twins is one of them. It is in 1894 that this team was established, it played in the Western League as the Kansas City Blues at first. Then they moved on to Washington to play as the Nationals and Senators for many years. Before moving on to their final resting place, the team continued playing in Washington for 60 years

In 1961, the team finally moved to Minnesota and from that time it has been playing there. That year they took on the name of the Twins, which is a reference to the Twin Cities in Minnesota. The team has had many ups and downs throughout the years.

It seems that recently there have been a lot more ups than downs, but that was not always the case.

Minnesota Twins managed to win their first World Series in 1924. The team was still playing in Washington and the fans were excited for the team's future. As we know the time of the 1920's was dominated by the likes of the New York Yankees . The Twins' championship aspirations faded quickly because of Yankees' domination and it took a very long time to find their way back. In the next 10 years, they did manage to win the AL Pennant 2 more times, but it is the same, they could not keep it up for long.

Until 1965 the tem win their fist AL pennant. They found themselves competing for the World Series again, but they were not able to pull out the series. They would have to wait another 22 years before they would have another shot at winning the World Series.

Fortunately, in the late 80s, the team found their way back to the World Series. They didn't win a World Series Title in more than 60 years and they were hungry. They played the St. Louis Cardinals and were led by the likes of Kirby Puckett. Puckett managed to lead the team to their first World Series Championship since 1924.

The team kept a feeling for success into the early 90s. They found their way back to the biggest stage in baseball against the Braves IN 1991. This World Series spelled success for the Twins as they brought home their 3rd World Series title in the history of the franchise.

Since 2002, the Minnesota Twins have won their division 6 times and have one of the most consistent franchises in all of Major League Baseball. They have won the last two Central Division titles and many people feel like they will be one of the top contenders for the World Series in coming years. They have some young, solid talent and such as Joe Mauer and they look like they could be a team that competes in this league for a very long time.
