Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The History of the Minnesota Twins
Richard Rambeck · 1998
60/100
👎 Skip It
A quick, accessible franchise history that does the job for a young sports fan wanting to know how the Twins went from Washington to Minnesota and what they accomplished along the way — but at 32 pages and published in 1998, the depth and currency are both limited. Young readers with a serious interest in the team will outgrow this quickly and find the most recent twenty-plus years of franchise history missing entirely. A fine library copy for reluctant readers; not worth purchasing new.
