It's been there logo since 1961. 

Which is about 10 years before the Texas Rangers came into existence.

It’s a good logo, and a nice compromise between Minneapolis and St. Paul which for many years had the top minor league teams for the Dodgers and Giants. Of course there was a keen rivalry between those teams.

A plain M (for Minnesota) logo could have been mistaken for Minneapolis.

I wonder how many youngsters these days know that the 1961 Twins were not an expansion team, but were a new home for the old Washington Senators. The 1961 Senators were the expansion team that about 10 years later relocated to Texas.

That’s useful knowledge for,people who do the Immaculate Grid.

Fun Fact: The Oak Ridge Boys bass singer (Richard Sterban) is a huge Brewers fan. He was a part owner of the Nashville Sounds years ago when Milwaukee was first affiliated with Nashville.

That pitch was NASTY. Inside then zoooooop. Outside for a swing 

[BruisedCrew]

Anderson keeps talking about the extra 2 days between starts for Priester. 

I think the bigger factor is that he had to throw so many high stress pitches in the first inning on a very hot day and that took a lot out of him. He settled down but had to deal with a few baserunners in the third too. When he gave up the HR and single in the fourth  I think his tank was probably lower than it might be otherwise for the number of pitches thrown. 

[Gump]

Incredible catch. Staring at the sun without sunglasses and still made the catch.

Or……he just didn’t have it today……I mean it does happen.
