In 1987 the Twins did not have a small ball team.
No one said they did.
In 1991 they finished with 140 home runs. Also middle of the pack only 7 behind NNY and ahead of Bos, Tor, ChW. The idea that we were the little team that could is ridiculous.
So you're saying the Twins were a power hitting club in '91 then? Despite not having anyone with 30 HR's. Despite the mighty 2006 twins hitting more out of the park. The Twins best power hitting clubs were in the 60's (were they all juicing then too? lol). They hit 225 in '63. Hmm 225 vs 140.... They were a good hitting club in '91, but they weren't a power club. Guys like Morris, Tapani, Erickson, and Aguilera were also huge. Hmm, slapping the ball around the park, good pitching, the defense was pretty good, they did some running on the bases; sounds like what we've come to call "Twins baseball" to me.
