In this episode Mad Dog is digging up the story of one of the greatest baseball teams to never win the world series, the 1965 Minnesota Twins. Led by the likes Harmon Killebrew, Tony Oliva, Zolio Versalles and Bob Alison, the Twins were one of the best franchises throughout the '60s, averaging over 90 wins per season for most of the decade. They would come close to winning a championship in '69 & '70, but it was their squad in '65 that was there best, winning 102 games in usually dramatic fashion. Their power hitting carried them most of the season until they faced Sandy Koufax and the Dodgers in the World Series. Jim Kaat won 18 games that year and joins Christopher to provide more insight on that season for Minnesota (18:31)
