Purchase Minnesota Twins Playoff Tickets at Onlineseats
The Minnesota Twins spent the first 60 years of their franchise history as the Washington Senators. Whether in Minnesota or D.C., the team has been able to produce relatively few fall playoff series. Instead the team has often ended up as a great competitor who finished in second or third place, having to buy tickets to watch other teams play in the fall classic.
Minnesota Twins 2009 Playoffs
The struggle to make the postseason does not mean that the franchise has never been. The Minnesota Twins have managed to win six American League pennants and three World Series. The first World Series came in 1924 as the Washington Senators. Walter Johnson finally got a chance to prove himself in the World Series toward the end of his career as the team with a 27-year-old player-manager named Bucky Harris finished two games ahead of the New York Yankees. Playoff tickets for the Senators-New York Giants series gave entry to a compelling series that went all seven games before the Washington Senators won the game in the 12th inning.
The Twins were able to bring a World Series home in 1987 when they beat the St. Louis Cardinals and had fans fighting for playoff tickets again in 1991. The 1991 Twins had a breakout season by Shane Mack, Chili Davis, and rookie Chuck Knoblauch. Kirby Puckett completed the dangerous lineup and Scott Erickson, Rick Aguilera, and Jack Morris formed the core of the pitching staff. After beating the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS, Minnesota went on to play the Braves. The Twins and Braves battles back and forth, ending the series in the 11th inning of game seven when Kirby Puckett drove in the winning run.
Minnesota Twins Background
The 2008 Twins have managed to find their way to the playoffs with the hitting of Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, and Jason Kubel. The timely hitting of the Twins more closely resembles small ball and the team will need to keep it up to go far in the playoffs. The quality of tickets will also depend on if the pitching staff can continue to deliver solid starts. Scott Baker, Nick Blackburn, and Glen Perkins are not Cy Young candidates, but they do manage to keep enough runners off the base paths to win some games. They will need to step it up to the next level to take the Twins to the World Series.
