The Minnesota Twins are an American professional baseball team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and play in the Central Division of Major League Baseball's American League.

 One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the club was founded in Kansas City, Kansas in 1894 as the Kansas City Blues before moving to Washington, D.C. and renamed Senators.
 In 1905 the team changed its official name to the Washington Nationals.
 The name "Nationals" would appear on the uniforms for only 2 seasons, and would then be replaced with the "W" logo for the next 52 years.
 The media often shortened the nickname to "Nats".
 Many fans and newspapers (especially out-of-town papers) persisted in using the "Senators" nickname.
 Over time, "Nationals" faded as a nickname, and "Senators" became dominant.
 Baseball guides would list the club's nickname as "Nationals or Senators", acknowledging the dual-nickname situation.
 In 1961, the Senators relocated to Minnesota and were renamed the Twins.
