V-10, December, 1975 45¢ ~ x x x x **************************************** Eight Old-Timer Teams To Be Added! First the I'badll news. The Strat-O-Matic Game Co. won't be putting out six Old-Timer baseball teams from the period 1920-1939. Now the good news. Instead, it will be putting out eight Old-Timer teams From that period! Because the recent poll conducted in the Review showed a heavy concentrat- ion of votes for two New York Yankee teams (1921 and 1936) and because, after the first three teams, the voting was extremely close, S-O-M creator Harold Richman has decided on eight teams instead of the planned six. When the Review editors last talked with the game company, Richman was researching the eight teams and prepar.ing Fielding and running ratings. The newest set of Old-Timer teams will be available when the 1976 baseball cards come out in the early spring. Now, which eight teams will be added to the growing list of Old-Timer card sets already available? Here are the eight that the readers picked via the poll and the percentage (out of 90 votes) that each received: 1. 1934 Detroit Tigers - 72.2%. 2. 1927 Pittsburgh Pirates - 55.6%. 5. (tie) 1936 New York Yankees, 3. 1929 Chicago Cubs - 53.3% 40%. 4. 1921 New York Yankees - 42.2%.

  • 1962 Minnesota Twins Media Guide
    MINNESOTA TWINS METROPOLITAN STADIUM - BLOOMINGTON, MINNESOTA /eepreieniin the AMERICAN LEAGUE __flfl I/ic Upper l?ic/we1 The Name... The name of this baseball club is Minnesota Twins. It is unique, as the only major league baseball team named after a state instead of a city. The reason unlike all other teams, this one represents more than one city. It, in fact, represents a state and a region, Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, in the American League. A survey last year drama- tized the vastness of the Minnesota Twins market with the revelation that up to 47 per cent of the fans at weekend games came from beyond the metropolitan area surrounding the stadium. The nickname, Twins, is in honor of the two largest cities in the Upper Midwest, the Twin Cities of Minne- apolis and St. Paul. The Place... The home stadium of the Twins is Metropolitan Stadium, located in Bloomington, the fourth largest city in the state of Minnesota. Bloomington's popu- lation is in excess of 50,000. Bloomington is in Hen- nepin County and the stadium is approximately 10 miles from the hearts of Minneapolis (Hennepin County) and St. Paul (Ramsey County). Bloomington has no common boundary with either of the Twin Cities.
