History

The Minnesota Twins are an American professional baseball team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Twins compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) Central division. The team is named after the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.

The franchise won the World Series in 1924 as the Washington Senators, and in 1987 and 1991 as the Twins. The team played its home games at Metropolitan Stadium from 1961 to 1981, and then at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome from 1982 to 2009. Following the conclusion of the 2009 season, the team relocated to Target Field, located on the former site of Metropolitan Stadium. From its establishment in 1901 to 1960, the franchise spent 58 seasons in Washington, D.C., where it was known as the Senators.

In 1960, following their final season in Washington, D.C., owner Calvin Griffith moved the franchise to Minnesota, where it was renamed as the Minnesota Twins. The Twins played their home games at Metropolitan Stadium until 1981 when they moved indoors to the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome for twenty years; their last two seasons there were played under conditions of partial roof collapse due to heavy snowfall accumulation on inflatable Teflon-coated Fiberglas fabric panels covering Metrodome’s open upper deck
