"This season was different": Minnesota Twins send thank you note to fans after 2023 season
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins ballclub is thanking fans after a memorable 2023 season.
Minnesota snapped a 19-year postseason losing streak and advanced in the playoffs for the first time in 21 years. Last week, the team was ultimately beaten by the Houston Astros 3-1 in the American League Division Series.
Minnesota shared the thank you note to fans on Sunday.
"This season was different. It started with a promise. And a lot of chatter. Trades were made. Trades were questioned. Stars emerged. Vests were worn. Backwards. We clinched," the note said in part.
