The Twins are a member of the Central Division of Major League Baseball's American League.

One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the club was founded in Washington, D.C. in 1901 as the Washington Senators.

That was a carryover nickname from a previous, unrelated club in the National League.

The name "Nationals" would appear on the uniforms for only 2 seasons, and would then be replaced with the "W" logo for the next 52 years.

The team name was officially changed to Washington Senators around the time that long-time team president Clark Griffith died and his son Calvin took over the team.

From their arrival in 1961 through 1981, the team played its games at Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, a suburb south of the Twin Cities.

The 1982 season brought the team indoors, into the Metrodome, which is in downtown Minneapolis near the Mississippi River.

This record was broken by the 2006 Cardinals, who won the World Series after going 83-79 during the regular season and a .513 percentage.

From 2002 to 2004, the Twins compiled their longest streak of consecutive league/division championships ever (previous were the 1924 World Champion-1925 AL Champion Senators and the 1969--70 Twins).

In 2006, the Minnesota Twins came from 12 games back in the division at the All-Star break to tie the Detroit Tigers for the lead in the 159th game of the season.
