when did minnesota twins win world series
The 1987 World Series was played by the Minnesota Twins and the St. Louis Cardinals. Minnesota was victorious in a World Series that was both the first to feature games played indoors, as well as the first in which the home team won every game. This happened again in 1991 (also a Twins championship) over the Atlanta Braves and in 2001 with the Arizona Diamondbacks defeating the New York Yankees.
Managers: Tom Kelly, Twins; Bobby Cox, Braves. Notes: The Minnesota Twins captured their second World Championship in five years during a tight series that included three extra-inning games and five one-run decisions. For only the second time in history, the home team won all seven games. The first time it happened was 1987, a series that also featured the Twins.
