  • 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. Club Records Because of the transfer of the old Washington Senators to Minnesota in October, 1960, and the creation of a completely new franchise in the Na- tion's Capital, there has been some confusion over the listing of All-Time Club records. In this booklet, All-Time Club records include those of the Wash- ington American League Baseball Club from 1901 through 1960, and those of the 1961 Minnesota Twins, a continuation of the Washington American League Baseball Club.

For their new fans to gloat about, the renamed Minnesota Twins brought with them three pennants won in Washington, in 1924, '25 and '33, and a world championship in 1924. Now, their new boosters could claim a share of such Senator greats as Clark C. (Old Fox) Griffith, Wolter (Big Train) Johnson, Joe Cronin, Lean (Goose) Goslin, Clyde (Deerfoot) Milan, Ed Delahanty, James (Mickey) Vernon, Roy Sievers, and others. Reciprocally, the Twins could now absorb the glories of 18 American Asso- ciation pennants - nine won by St. Paul and nine by Minneapolis - in 59 seasons. They could be reminded of the tremendous pennant burst by St. Paul in 1920, with the Saints winning 115, losing only 49, posting a .701 percentage, and running away from Joe McCarthy's second-place Louisville Colonels by 28 1/2 games. Mike Kelley, the American Association's grand old man, managed that one and four other Saints flag winners before buying the Minneapolis club and putting together three more championship combinations. The pattern for winning boll in St. Paul was set early, in the first year of minor league ball, in fact.

  • Danks for the Memories
    Danks for the Memories Posted by Paul Ladewski Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 While corks popped and champagne sprayed in their clubhouse late Tuesday evening, only moments after the White Sox had beaten the Minnesota Twins to claim the Central Division title and a postseason berth, general manager Ken Williams suddenly remembered why his team was there in the first place. "Where's John Danks!? Anybody see John Danks?!" Williams shouted to nobody and everybody in particular while he checked out the craziness around him, his vision reduced to a squint by the sweet burn of success. "Where did John Danks go?!" The question wasn't where John Danks went, really. The question was, where did the kid come from? And how special was what he had done? A 23-year-old such as Danks isn't supposed to be able to pitch the game of his life in a one-game, winner-take-all situation, especially one who works on three days' rest. Four days earlier, Danks allowed seven runs in four innings against the Cleveland Indians, a loss that left his team one-half game in back of the Twins with three left to play. Realistically, he couldn't have been expected to do much more than that on short rest. "Six and three," Williams said. "That's what we hoped that John would give us -- six and three." As in six innings plus three batters. Instead, Danks gave his team eight and oh! Not only did Danks blank the Twins on two hits in the 1-0 thriller, but the lefthander was in such complete and utter control that he required only 103 pitches to get through eight innings before Bobby Jenks came out of the bullpen.
