Second year of the decade (1991) - Second World Series championship in five years. Third year of the decade (1992) - Won more games than that championship team. After that, well, it wasn't always pretty. However, there were still...9289Wed, 29 Apr 2020 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins-history/twins-all-decade-team-the-3980s-the-pitchers-r9268/Some of the Twins teams in the early '80s were really bad. However, it was a time for some development, and one of the players developed turned into one of the bettter pitchers in team history. There is no question that Frank Viola was the team's top pitcher of the 1980s, and he helped lead the 1...9268Thu, 23 Apr 2020 03:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins-history/twins-all-decade-team-the-3980s-the-hitters-r9264/The 1960s presented Minnesota baseball fans with a new team, the Twins, and those teams provided some really good baseball for most of the decade. There were so many great players. The 1970s presented Minnesota Twins fans with a lot of mediocrity. Rod Carew and Bert Blyleven put up Hall of Fame ca...9264Wed, 22 Apr 2020 04:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins-history/twins-all-decade-team-the-70s-the-pitchers-r9246/Rod Carew was clearly the hitter of the 1970s for the Twins. On the pitching side, there is no doubt that the top arm was Bert Blyleven. The Hall of Famer debuted in 1970 at 19 and performed well through the first half of the decade. He returned a decade later and had a big impact. But Blyl...9246Wed, 15 Apr 2020 22:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins-history/twins-all-decade-team-the-70s-the-hitters-r9239/Twins fans fans may have been spoiled by the team in their first decade. The second decade started out strong with 98 wins and a playoff berth in 1970. That was their lone playoff appearance of the decade. In 1971, they finished in fifth place in the division. Each other season, they finished ei...9239Wed, 15 Apr 2020 02:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins-history/twins-all-decade-team-the-60s-the-pitchers-r9217/In each decade, I will select five Starting Pitchers and five Bullpen pitchers. But the role of the bullpen in 1960s baseball is much, much different than it is today, and even much different than it became in the 1980s. So below you will see five starters and five "relievers" but frankly, at le...9217Thu, 09 Apr 2020 13:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins-history/twins-all-decade-team-the-60s-the-hitters-r9208/As you know, the Twins came to Minnesota from Washington DC where they were known as the Senators. In 1961, they won just 70 games. Then they won 91 games each of the next two seasons. 1964 was disappointing as the team finished just below .500. In 1965, the Twins made it all the way to the Worl...9208Wed, 08 Apr 2020 01:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins-history/minnesota-twins-2010s-all-decade-team-r8592/The decade of 2010-19 brought two division pennants, three playoff berths and a zero playoff wins. In total, the Twins finished the decade with a record of 765-855 and -438 run differential, both good for 23rd in the Majors. Here's my take on the Twins All-Decade team from the 2010s.
