1960’s Minnesota Twins crossword puzzle

crossword imageIt has been awhile since I did a crossword puzzle and there has been no Twins news lately so I have put together this puzzle for you Twins old-timers that remember fondly the Minnesota Twins from the 1960’s. 

The Twins had some wonderful players back then and one World Series appearance in 1965 when they came up on the short end of a seven game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 1969 Twins under manager Billy Martin played the Baltimore Orioles in the first ever ALCS but there too they came up short getting swept in three games.

The puzzle is not easy but I hope you enjoy it and that it brings back some wonderful memories and gets you to thinking about baseball on this wet and dreary Minnesota November day.

Because of the size of this puzzle, you might want to consider using legal size paper if you have it. Once you have brought the puzzle up and are ready to print the puzzle, do a right-click with your mouse and you might want to do a print preview first to get the puzzle the right size to fit on a single page. The clues for the puzzle will print on page 2. If you have done your best and still come up short, then you can print out the answers.

Good luck and have fun!
