Minnesota Twins – Team Overview
The Minnesota Twins are a professional baseball team in the United States. And the Twins compete in the Central Division of the American League (AL) of Major League Baseball (MLB).
Senators/Twins Team History
The Twins were established in 1901. Originally, they were based in Washington, DC. And they called themselves the Washington Senators.
In fact, the Washington Senators were one of the eight original members of the American League.
However, between 1905 and 1955, they called themselves the Washington Nationals.
Although they were officially known as the Nationals, many people continued to call them the Senators. So they changed their name back to the Senators in 1956.
Finally, in 1961, the franchise relocated from the Nation’s Capital to the Twin Cities in Minnesota.
Therefore, they changed their name from the Senators to the Twins. In case you didn’t know, the Twin Cities are Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
Interestingly, Minneapolis is the most populous city in Minnesota. And Saint Paul is the state capital. Because of their proximity to each other, they comprise a single metropolitan area.
To clarify, they are located on opposite sides of the Mississippi River.
The historic baseball team has won a total of 12 division titles. And they have won six AL pennants. Most importantly, they have won the World Series three times, once when they were in Washington and twice in the Twin Cities.

A Word to the Wise
While most of these venues tend to attract Minnesota Twins fans on game day, there are no guarantees.
First of all, not all baseball games are broadcast. And even when they are, sometimes they won’t turn on the sound. Otherwise, they might show other events. And there is always the chance the venue might be booked for special activities.
Also, fans sometimes migrate to other venues. And bars sometimes close.
Therefore, you should always call ahead to make sure that the game you want to watch will be broadcast.
