Minnesota Twins.

The Minnesota Twins is a Major League Baseball (MLB) team that plays in the American League Central division. The franchise originated in Washington, DC, where it was confusingly called the Nationals but popularly known as the Senators. In the early years of the twentieth century, Washington’s rotation included hard-throwing right-hander Walter Johnson who set numerous baseball records and is still considered one of the greatest pitchers in history. The franchise spent sixty seasons in Washington, winning one World Series, before moving to Minnesota in 1961 and changing its name to the Twins. Minnesota made three playoff appearances and one World Series in the first decade in its new home. The team found its greatest success in the late 1980s and early 1990s when it won two World Series titles, both in come-from-behind fashion. In the twenty-first century, the Twins have been one of baseball’s more competitive teams but often seem to have their path to playoff success blocked by the powerhouse New York Yankees.
