Neal III | Star Tribune | June 6, 2017 ANAHEIM, CALIF. – Although he began the season touring the Southern League, Randy Rosario believed he was major league material. “I was ready for it,” the 23-year-old, newly recalled Twins lefthander said. “I was waiting for it. I was saying to myself, ‘Randy, just be ready for it.’ ” Confidence is one characteristic that jumps out with Rosario. He is bright, has worked hard to learn English and made a quick transition to the bullpen after making 55 starts in the minors from the time he was signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2010 until the middle of last season. It also helps to have a fastball that can reach 94 miles per hour and a wipeout slider. That will give you confidence, too — and encourage a team like the Twins to give a Class AA pitcher a chance in the majors.

Twins history began in 1961 when Washington Senators president Calvin Griffith made the historic decision to move his family’s team to the Midwest, settling on the Minneapolis/St. Paul area in Minnesota. The new team was named after the state’s famous Twin Cities and began their inaugual season with a talented roster featuring Harmon Killebrew, Bob Allison, Camilo Pascual, and Jim Lemon. Homegrown talents Jim Kaat, Zoilo Versalles, Jimmie Hall, and Tony Oliva combined with the Twins already potent nucleus to make the team a force to be reckoned with in the 1960s.
