    More information about "The Man that Brought Us Tomorrow Night!"
    The 1991 Minnesota Twins won the World Series on the back of a dominating pitching performance, but it was Kirby Puckett that brought them to that fateful evening with his Game 6 heroics. A member of the 2001 Baseball Hall of Fame class alongside teammate Dave Winfield, the Twins legend has his numb...

    More information about "Winfield Was the Star that Came Home"
    On October 3, 1951, Dave Winfield was born in St. Paul, MN. He honed his skills at St. Paul Central High School, and it was as a senior he truly burst onto the scene. Going to the hometown Minnesota Gophers on a full baseball scholarship, Winfield also played basketball. He was part of the 1972 Goph...

    More information about "Nelson Cruz and the Hunt for 500 Home Runs"
    Milestones are part of baseball history and the Twins have plenty of attainable marks throughout the 2021 season. 500 home runs used to be a direct ticket to induction into Cooperstown, but the steroid era has put a cloud over this previously important milestone. Out of the players with more than 50...

    The question is – should we sign Cruz or just let a number of players DH? I thought I would look back at the Twins DH history. I ignore any DWAR since I am only interested in the DH. Tony Oliva was the first DH. In 1973 he was in 146 games. He hit 291/345/410 and his WAR was 0.7. The next ye...

    The DH began in AL only in 1973 and Tony Oliva with terrible knees was the first to take advantage of the new position. He was DH in 142 games, Mike Adams 16, Danny Walton 13 and 10 others appeared in various games. 1974 had Oliva 112, Killebrew 57, Terrell 20 and 5 others. Oliva continued with 120...

    More information about "The Twins Almanac for January 14–20"
    January 14 Nothing happened today (unless you count the births of Mike Pelfrey and J.R. Graham), so I went looking for a Minnesota/New Orleans connection in honor of the big game today. The Twins selected Randy Bush out of the University of New Orleans in the second round of the 1979 draft. Bush p...

    This week’s Almanac marks the birthdates of Showboat Fisher, T.J. Bohn, and Camilo Pascual, and remembers the inaugural class of the West Central Baseball Hall of Fame in Willmar. It was also this week in history that the Twins released Harmon Killebrew, acquired Billy Beane, and Dave Winfield and K...

    More information about "Twins MLB Draft Preview: Brendan McKay, SP/1B"
    WHO IS HE? McKay is a left-handed pitcher and first baseman from the University of Louisville. He was originally drafted in the 34th round of the 2014 draft by the San Diego Padres. His commitment to Louisville was strong and that decision seems to have paid off. McKay is 6-2, 220 pounds and was bor...

    Since 2010, the Twins have selected three college players in the first round, right-handed pitcher Alex Wimmers, shortstop Levi Michael and left-handed pitcher Tyler Jay. Wimmers and Michael have failed to transform into MLB regulars. Jay was drafted with the hopes of being a top tier starter. This...
