story

The Minnesota twins are in a perfect spot to win a world series in the inaugural season at target field. They have already clinched the central division and with a current record of 92 wins and 60 losses the post season is looking very optimistic for the team. I interviewed some Eastview students who are fans of the team to see what they thought the twins chances are in the post season.
-How far do you think the twins will go into the post season?
Jake- I think it depends on what they Yankees do, if the Yankees do well then I think the twins will not make it very far.

The twins biggest competition in the post season will most likely be the new York Yankees they have to get by them to get to the world series and the Yankees have showed in the past that they are a stronger team then the twins in the post season. I asked Scottie what he thought the twins biggest strength was in the post season…

Scottie- I think the biggest strength is our defense and our depth is better than any other team.

The team has shown great fielding this year with a .988 fielding percentage which is second in the American league to the Yankees. Who is your favorite player on the team and why?

Joe- My favorite player would be Jim Thome because he's a consistent power hitter and gets the fans in the game.

The twins have been through a great season already but I'm sure everyone would like to see them go all the way and win the world series.itter
