 PROFILE
These former senators went on to become a hit in the Midwest. Formed in 1901 by Ban Johnson as the Washington Senators, a charter member of the American League, the major league baseball franchise moved to Minneapolis in 1960 and became the Minnesota Twins. Since winning two World Series championships in 1987 and 1991, however, the team has suffered through many dismal seasons. Billionaire Carl Pohlad, who bought the Twins in 1984 from Calvin Griffith, has drawn the ire of Twin Cities fans for failing to invest in talented players. The team continues to press the state legislature for a publicly funded stadium to replace the aging Metrodome.
