Remembering fun/interesting moments in the history of the Minnesota Twins to spark conversation about the franchise.
During his three-and-a-half year stint with Minnesota, Carlos Correa hit .274 with 61 home runs and 214 RBI in 450 games played. Thanks for everything with the Twins, and congratulations on your promotion to your old squad, The Houston Astros! Hopefully they’ll treat you better than us Minnesotans.

This. The Twins front office is absolute shit. This is what they’re saying to us. Feels like they’ve just given up on the team. #MinnesotaTwins

While Kirby Puckett is mainly known for his Game 6 walk-off home run in the 1991 World Series (the greatest World Series ever played), he ended his career appearing in TEN All-Star games, 207 home runs, 1,085 RBI, and 2,307 hits. Suffice to say, Puckett is and will forever be a Twins legend.

Philip Humber ended his career with a 16-23, a 5.31 ERA, with 272 career strikeouts. During his two-season (2008-2009) stint with the Twins, he went 0-0 with a 6.32 ERA and 15 strikeouts. Fun fact: Humber pitched a perfect game with the Chicago White Sox in 2012!

Former Twin and current free agent Nick Gordon had the best season of his career with Minnesota in 2022; a .272 batting average, 9 home runs, and 51 RBIs in 136 games. Would love to see Gordon return to the Twins as a utility option.

During his one season with Minnesota (2020 shortened season), Rich Hill went 2-2 with a 3.03 ERA with 31 strikeouts. Hill is currently a 45-year-old free agent. Like Kyle Gibson, it would amazing to see Rich Hill return to the Twins!

Former Twin Joe Nathan ended his career with 377 saves, meaning he got 69% of his career saves in a Twins uniform. Nice. 😏
