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 Target Field as of 2010. Located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Target Field replaces the Hubert H. Humphery Metrodome after 28 years as the Twins home stadium. While the Twins shared "The Dome" with the Vikings, the new open air ballpark is their own. Seating around 39,500 fans, this ultra-modern ballpark features over 50 private suites and 12 group party suites. It is located in the Warehouse District north of downtown Minneapolis right over I394 from the Target Center, home of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
