Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The names flow like a meandering backwoods Minnesota river: Harmon Killebrew, Tony Olivia, Jim Perry, Jim Kaat, Rod Carew, Bert Blyleven, Kirby Puckett . . . and the newer stars Johan Santana, Jacque Jones, Torii Hunter, Joe Mauer. But the story begins in Washington, where the Senators played for 60 seasons before relocating to Minneapolis-St. Paul in 1961.
More than a few legendary players took the field in Senators uniforms, including the great Walter 'Big Train' Johnson—considered by some the greatest pitcher ever. But for all the team's history, including a world championship in 1924, it wasn't until the move to Minnesota that Twins became synonymous with wins, with World Series victories in 1987 and 1991.
Twins Pride recounts the great players, teams, magical moments, riveting rivalries, and memorable venues, plus a special tribute to 'Mr. Twin'—Harmon Killebrew. Other features include the all-time Minnesota Twins team, the rosters all three world championship teams, Twins humor, and more, as told by the players, managers, coaches, opponents, fans, and the media.

Rated by buyers -
This is an entertaining recap of the history of the Minnesota Twins/Washington Senators told in bits and pieces that are put together in a way that will leave regular readers baffled as to what the reasoning might have been to put it together in such a way. The book is comprised of about ten different 'chapters,' all of which consist of many brief quotes from people or newspaper articles. There are no connective threads between the quotes, and there is no real flow to the book.
It's perfect to read in five minute bursts while you rest on your favorite commode, but if you want a real narrative history of the Twins, you will be sorely disappointed.
