Minnesota Twins

The Minnesota Twins are a team in the Central Division of the American League in Major League Baseball. The team is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and is named after the Twin Cities, a term widely used to define the metropolitan area of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.

The Twins were founded in 1894 as the Kansas City Blues, who played in the Western League. After that league ceased in 1900, they moved to Washington, D.C., and became the Washington Senators and Washington Nationals, winning a World Series title in 1924. In 1960, the team moved to the Twin Cities and became the Minnesota Twins.

Since moving to Minnesota, the team has won two World Series championships. They defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in 1987, and the Atlanta Braves in 1991. Throughout their existence, the team has won six total American League pennants and ten division titles.
