Twins-White Sox rivalry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The rivalry between the Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox is intense but relatively recent, probably coming from the 2000s. The two teams are natural rivals, having played in the same divisions since 1969 (the American League West Division from 1969-1993 and the AL Central Division since the divisional realignment in 1994). The Twins won the American League Central division in three consecutive years by wide margins, but lost the title to the White Sox in 2005. The White Sox would go on to win the American League pennant and subsequently the World Series. The Twins recaptured the division title from the White Sox in 2006.
