Minnesota Twins on Baseball Almanac While Twins' fans enjoy the resurgence of a relatively stable franchise in 2005, the fans in Washington lost the expansion Senators to Texas in 1971, only to get another new team in 2005 when the Montreal Expos relocated to Washington, again to be called the Nationals. Then to top it off, the team moved to Minnesota to become the Twins, but a new franchise stayed in Washington called the Senators, until that franchise moved to Texas to become the Rangers and was replaced by another new Washington team called the Nationals. The Twins won the 1965 pennant as Oliva led the league again at.321 (the only player to win batting titles his first two seasons) and Versailles had an MVP year. www.baseball-almanac.com /teams/minn.shtml   (1224 words)

The Japan Times Online Various Central and Pacific League teams, including the Yomiuri Giants, played games in Kokura between 1979 and 1988, and the park was always a stop on postseason tours by visiting major league teams such as the Baltimore Orioles (1971), New York Mets (1974) and Cincinnati Reds (1978). The kid, viewed as a possible major leaguer via the posting system as early as 2005, was being watched by scouts from at least three MLB teams: the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins, on that final holiday of Golden Week. I checked with the Pacific League office and was told the June 2 game is the only one scheduled in your town this season, but they could not say if the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks or other teams will play one or more games there in 2005 and succeeding seasons. www.japantimes.co.jp /cgi-bin/getsp.pl5?sb20040512wg.htm   (895 words)
