After going 0-9 to start 2016, mirroring a start by the Atlanta Braves, 1991 seemed like more than 25 years ago as the Twins flailed their way to their worst start since coming to Minnesota. If you remember, both the Twins and the Braves finished last in their respective leagues in 1990, before going worst to first in meeting in the 1991 World Series.
Distant memories indeed. But just as we were writing the obituary on the 2016 version of the Minnesota Twins just 10 days into the new season, the boys remembered how to hit, highlighted by the monstrous home run by Byung-ho Park in the 8th inning in Saturday’s win over the LA Angels.
