All-Time Twins Name Team

By Popular Demand...

On Twitter on Monday I was tasked with putting together an all-time Twins team of best names, so here we go. We’re not going to get into too many details. Just vibes here.

This is my list. It’s not based on the best player with a good name at a position. It’s who I think had the best name at the position in Twins history (post-1961).

Your list will definitely differ. Please show me your list!
