TWINS' GREATEST ALL-TIME WEB GEMS
ESPN Research
The Twins have been blessed with great defense throughout their history -- especially up the middle. Between shortstop Zoilo Versalles, catcher Earl Battey, pitcher Jim Kaat and center fielders Kirby Puckett and Torii Hunter, the Twins' middle defense has been the staple of the franchise.
The Twins rode their defense to World Series titles in 1987 and 1991, as they led the majors in fielding in '87 and were second in '91.
