Minnesota Twins history
The Twins name points to Minneapolis and Saint Paul, the side-by-side Twin Cities. The franchise itself began much earlier and far away, in 1894 as a minor league team called the Kansas City Blues. In 1901 it became the major league Washington Senators, and that version won the 1924 World Series. The club moved to Minnesota and took its current name for the 1961 season.
Three homes have hosted the team since then. Metropolitan Stadium came first, from 1961 to 1981, followed by the Metrodome from 1982 to 2009. Target Field opened in 2010 and seats 38,554. Minnesota added two more championships in 1987 and 1991, giving the franchise three in all. The team plays in the American League Central.
