We’re Gonna Win Twins

We aimed for the feel of an old baseball card. The client said we “hit a home run!”

Beginning each chapter with a snapshot of events in the world and in baseball, Grow shows how teams were built and managed, from the arrival and departure of key players like Harmon Killebrew, Frank Viola, David Ortiz, and Torii Hunter to the unintended scouting trip that brought Kirby Puckett to the Twins. He profiles great players and great seasons—from the matchup of Koufax and Kaat in the 1965 World Series to the unlikely contenders of 1979 to perhaps the best World Series ever in 1991.
