The Minnesota Twins have been one of the most exciting teams to watch in baseball for the past few seasons.  A perennial playoff team, they haven’t been able to make it past the ALCS recently, but this season they will surely be eager to dispel the criticism that they can’t succeed in the playoffs and the comparisons to the Atlanta Braves of the 1990’s who also won their division multiple times with no World Series.  The Metrodome will be teeming with Twins fans cheering to see their team win another division title and make a successful run at the World Series.  Rumors of the team’s moving to another market have been laid to rest with the start of construction of a new stadium, and Minneapolis/St. Paul fans are delighted that their beloved team will stay and represent the city.

The Minnesota Twins play baseball in the Central Division of Major League Baseball’s American League.  The franchise was founded in Washington D.C. in 1901 as the Washington Senators/Nationals (no relation to the current Nationals franchise that moved to Washington from Montreal).  The team moved to Minneapolis/St. Paul in 1961.  The organization has 3 World Series titles - 2 since moving to Minnesota, and 6 American League pennants - 3 of those since the move.  Some of the famous players to wear the Twins uniform include Kirby Puckett, Paul Molitor, and Rod Carew.

The Minnesota Twins play their home games in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  The white Teflon dome roof makes for some interesting plays as it isn’t unusual for a ball to hit the roof or a part of the structure of the roof and stay in play.  The white color of the roof also gives the Twins a tremendous home field advantage since visiting outfielders often lose the ball in the ceiling.  Watching a Twins game in this unique venue is a wild and loud experience you won’t forget.  Buy Minnesota Twins tickets today and don’t miss any of the action!
