Description
Bill Dailey, Wont You Please Come Home. Billy Ball. The Lumber Company. Ten Acres of Roof. Homer Hankies. Bobblehead dolls. Piranhas. Twins Territory. In 1961, the Twins brought major league baseball to the upper Midwest, becoming the first team to claim with its name not just a city but a region. In Were Gonna Win, Twins!As the franchise moves back out under the open air and into its fifth decade in the major leagues, the incredible insider view and stunning photographs of Were Gonna Win, Twins! celebrate the year-in, year-out texture of the game, the oh-so-satisfying triumphs, and the angst that indelibly mark the true fan.
