List of Minnesota Twins seasons - wikipedia List of Minnesota Twins seasons The Metrodome, home of the Twins from 1982 through 2009. The Minnesota Twins, formerly the Washington Senators, are a professional baseball franchise currently based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They currently play in the American League ( AL ) Central division. The Twins have won three World Series in 1924, 1987 and 1991, the first of which occurred when they were still based in Washington. As the Senators, they struggled except between the mid-1920s and early 1930s. The team enjoyed success in their early years in Minnesota, reaching the World Series in 1965 with stars like Harmon Killebrew and Jim Kaat on the roster. However, from 1971 to 1986, the Twins failed to reach the postseason. The Twins had eight straight losing seasons from 1993 to 2000, but this was followed by one the franchise 's most consistent period of success when the team only had one losing season ( 2007 ) between 2001 and 2010. Despite the team 's success during this period, the Twins failed to reach another World Series. Since the 2011 season, the franchise has fallen substantially, finishing with a losing record in every season with the exception of the 2015 season. This decline was capped by the franchise 's only sixth ( and first since 1982 ) 100 - loss season.
