Never on Holidays. By contrast, their World Series opponents, the American League's Minnesota Twins, boast only one pitcher who has even won 20 games, Jim ("Mudcat") Grant-and his earned-run average is a so-so 3.22. The Twins do have plenty of power: Harmon Killebrew has hit 24 homers, Bob Allison has 23, and Tony Oliva, the American League batting champion (at .321) has 16.
