Minnesota Twins 1961-71 Wool Shawl Collar Sweater

Description

REPLICA ON-FIELD BASEBALL SWEATERS JUST LIKE HOW THEY WORE IT History: The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul supported two American Association teams – the Millers and Saints – for several decades, so the area was a natural place to look for Senators owner Cal Griffith when he was considering moving his team. A new modern park had been built for the Millers in Bloomington, and it could be easily expanded to meet MLB requirements. The new Twins debuted in 1961, and they would quickly achieve success that eluded them in the nation’s capital, winning their first AL pennant in 1965. These alpaca/wool blend sweaters are made to the same exacting specifications as the ones from the early 20th century. They feature thick buttons and sewn felt chest emblems. Perfect for that off-season cold weather, sitting by the fireplace, and those early Spring Training games.
