This baseball-less period, I’ll be spearheading an accounting of the greatest Twins moments & performances from 1961-Present. As a fanbase, we need some positivity at the moment.
Important Note: It would be easy to load this list with ‘87 & ‘91 World Series moments—and those will certainly be strongly represented. But considering I’ll pass the big 4-0 during this poll’s duration and my World Series memory is my Dad telling me about Kirby’s heroics before taking me to kindergarten, there are two entire generations of fans whose favorite moments may not have occurred in October. So, this won’t be all ‘87/’91.
The first five moments are pretty “chalk”, so let’s dive right in…
The last out of the first title (1987)
Puckett’s Pinnacle (1991)
Welcome home AL champs (1987)
Black Jack goes the distance (1991)
