<em class='bbc'>We're Gonna Win, Twins!</em> by Doug Grow
This is an anectdotal history of 50 years of Twins baseball, covering their arrival from Washington, DC in 1961 to the brink of the 2010 season at brand-new Target Field. Because it's not a traditional history of the team the individual season are generally summarized in a paragraph or two, and instead the focus is on an event or person that made the season unique. For instance, not many people are aware that during one game in 1968 outfielder Cesar Tovar actually played all 9 positions, and played them quite well. He struck out Reggie Jackson, believe it or not, and led the Twins to a 2-1 victory over the Oakland A's (Tom Hall was credited with the win, however).

I Came, I Saw, I Skedaddled
Kids shouldn't drink with monkeys.
