The New York Yankees have been a monster under the bed at night to the Minnesota Twins. Whether it’s the regular season or the playoffs, the Yankees vs Twins have resulted in the Pinstripes crushing the Twins’ big dreams, especially in Yankee Stadium. The two squads meet again this year in the ALDS, but this isn’t your father’s Twins team.
A team not known for power, Minnesota broke the Major League record for home runs in a single season, albeit with doctored baseballs. The Twins finished with 307 home runs, just one more than the Yankees. Home runs will be a factor, as they have been all season, but the two team’s pitching will be the difference-maker.
