The 2019 Hall of Fame class loved to terrorize the Minnesota Twins
By Chris Schad
The Minnesota Twins have first-hand knowledge of how great this Hall of Fame class is with all four inductees having extraordinary success against the Twins.
The Minnesota Twins were a part of a rough decade in the 1990s. While they did pick up their second World Series title in 1991, the Twins dragged through the rest of the decade trying to find their new stars to line up beside Kirby Puckett.
The misery would continue in a different fashion as the calendar turned to the new millennium with the Twins having little success in the postseason despite making five appearances (and a sixth in 2010).
With all that pain packed into a 20-year span, it’s not surprising to learn that many of the Hall of Famers who will be enshrined in Cooperstown in the next couple of years will have a large track record of success against the Twins.
As the 2019 Hall of Fame class will be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday afternoon, all four enshrinees (Mike Mussina, Mariano Rivera, Roy Halladay and Edgar Martinez) punished the Twins throughout their careers.
