The 2001 Minnesota Twins marked the beginning of the Twins’ ascendancy in the American League Central Division. After finishing the 2000 season last in the division with a disappointing 69-93 record, the 2001 team rebounded to finish 85-77, good enough for second place in the division. The six-year run of winning seasons that followed is the longest such stretch in franchise history. In his last year as manager, Tom Kelly continued the development of a core of young players who would win their division the following year. Third baseman Corey Koskie hit 26 home runs stole 27 bases, the only Twins player to steal at least 25 bases and hit 25 home runs in the same season. ==Regular season== *After years of having only one All-Star representative, the 2001 Twins had three: Cristian Guzman, Joe Mays, and Eric Milton. *The highest paid Twin in 2001 was Brad Radke at $7,750,000; followed by Todd Jones at $3,975,000. *Herb Carneal and Jim Kaat were inducted into the Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2001 Minnesota Twins season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
