History in the Making?
The Minnesota Twins are 59-94 with nine games left in the season (two with Seattle, four in Cleveland and three with K.C.). If we win-out, the best we could do is finish in a TIE for LAST place with the Royals - if the Royals lose all their games. Twins have to win four of the nine to guarantee they won't lose 100 or more games.
Thee worst season in Twins' history was 1982 when they finished 60-102. It was the team's first year in the Metrodome. That team featured a very young core of players named Kent Hrbek, Gary Gaetti, Tom Brunansky, Frank Viola, Tim Laudner, Mickey Hatcher, John Castino and Randy Bush.
