Summary
No doubt about it—the 1965 Minnesota Twins season was a special one. Consider this: · The Twins won their first American League pennant since moving to Minnesota in 1961 from Washington, D.C., where they were called the Washington Senators. · They set a franchise record in 1965 with 102 wins. The Twins were known that season for winning close games and for their ability to come back from deficits. · They had six players selected for the All-Star game, which was played that year at Metropolitan Stadium, their home ballpark at the time. · The 1965 Twins team had a strong pitching rotation, but they also led the American League in runs scored. · That 1965 season culminated in the Twins' appearance in the World Series, where they faced the Los Angeles Dodgers. Podcast host Bob Edholm gets together again with brothers Wayne and Al Damerow to discuss that special season. These three lifelong Twins fans weren’t yet teenagers in 1965, but their memories of that Twins season, plus their love of baseball, come shining through in this podcast episode.
