The Minnesota Twins Through Memorabilia
Author: Clyde Doepner
Publisher: Nodin Press
ISBN: 9781935666684
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"When the Washington Senators moved to Minnesota before the 1961 season, baseball fans throughout the Upper Midwest were thrilled to have a roster of established stars such as Harmon Killebrew, Bob Allison, and Camilo Pascual on their own major-league team. And over the next half-century, the team gave fans plenty to cheer about. In the pages of this unique book, the sights, sounds, and smells of the ballpark come alive as chapters in the Twins story are told, not chronologically, but through brief essays accompanied by close to 200 color photos of the pennants, jerseys, championship rings, gloves, signed baseballs, ticket stubs, commemorative items, and other pieces of memorabilia the text describes. The early pages cover the period before the Twins arrived, extending back to town ball, minor league teams, and the days of exhibition games and barnstorming tours. In subsequent chapters we relive the Twins' World Series appearances, and also the near misses. Individual achievements and milestones are also on display, from the bat with which Harmon Killebrew hit his 573rd home run, to Rod Carew's spikes and Kirby Puckett's Silver Slugger award. Metropolitan Stadium, the Metrodome, and Target Field define successive eras in Twins history, with memorabilia unique to each. The bobbleheads, Homer Hankies, score cards, and other souvenirs will bring back memories old and new to all fans of the Minnesota Twins and Major League Baseball."--Publisher's website.

They Played for the Love of the Game
Author: Frank M. White
Publisher: Minnesota Historical Society
ISBN: 1681340054
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
A century before Kirby Puckett led the Minnesota Twins to World Series championships, Minnesota was home to countless talented African American baseball players, yet few of them are known to fans today. During the many decades that Major League Baseball and its affiliates imposed a strict policy of segregation, black ballplayers in Minnesota were relegated to a haphazard array of semipro leagues, barnstorming clubs, and loose organizations of all-black teams—many of which are lost to history. They Played for the Love of the Game recovers that history by sharing stories of African American ballplayers in Minnesota, from the 1870s to the 1960s, through photos, artifacts, and spoken histories passed through the generations. Author Frank White’s own father was one of the top catchers in the Twin Cities in his day, a fact that White did not learn until late in life. While the stories tell of denial, hardship, and segregation, they are highlighted by athletes who persevered and were united by their love of the sport.
