With the Minnesota Twins on pace for a hundred wins for the first season since 1965, it’s time to look back at some of the greatest Twins and Senators teams of all time.

The Minnesota Twins are on their way to winning exactly one hundred games, a mark that has only been hit once in the franchise’s 118-year history back in 1965. With the Twins already owning the single-home run record and several other records on their way to a push for the American League Central championship, it’s fair to ask where this team could rank in franchise history.

We took a look at some of the greatest teams in the history of the Twins as well as their previous history as the Washington Senators. With great success and players littered throughout franchise history, its a tough list to tackle, but one worth pondering at this point of the season.

The rankings took into account the team’s record, star-power on the roster, and performance in the postseason or pennant race (preference given to pennant-winning teams, it took a lot of effort to beat those early New York Yankees teams). With that being said, let’s get into it.
