John Bonnes Site Manager Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 If the club is looking for incentive for a strong finish, here it is. http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/blog_article/minnesota-verging-on-unwanted-franchise-history/ With the Twins' loss yesterday in Oakland, the franchise’s all-time cumulative since moving to Minnesota now stands exactly one game over .500: 4,123-4,122. So if the Twins lose tonight, their all-time Minnesota record will no longer be over .500. He notes that they went over .500 in 2006 after dropping below in 1997.

Mainly because I remember the 70's and early 80's.
