What is the value of a World Series Minnesota Twins ring?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Photo Pennants are very popular with collectors. A 1965 Minnesota Twins Photo pennant is worth about $95. -$120. Condition is important, especially with the photo. These photos are typically creased. Vintage pennants are difficult to date to a specific season. Many pennants were for sale at the ballparks for several years in a row. Team logo's and artwork could help in dating. Often team will use the same artwork on other souvenirs like programs, and yearbooks making it possible to date to a specific year.

Most pre 1970 full sized (12" x 30") felt pennants sell for below $50.- $100. Photo pennants, and scroll or roster pennants listing team players, Championship, and World Series Pennants are more desired by collectors and will sell for more. Premium mini pennants offered by candy companies in a special offer for example could also sell for more. As with all collectibles condition is important.

Common flaws with pennants are missing ties, pin holes, frying, creases, and "crackling" on the printing. Sometimes people will trim down a pennant to rid it of the frying or other flaws like a flat tip (point) Caused by being pinned up and ripped off. Any of these flaws will degrade the pennant significantly. Doctored pennants - A term used to describe a pennant that has been altered to cover up a flaw, is a practice that is frowned upon among the collecting community, and could sell for less than a pennant with the flaws it was meant to cover up.

How do waivers work in baseball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Any player under contract may be placed on waivers at any time. If a player is waived, any team may claim him. If more than one team claims the player from waivers, the team with the weakest record in the player's league gets preference. If no team in the player's league claims him, the claiming team with the weakest record in the other league gets preference. In the first month of the season, preference is determined using the previous year's standings. If a team claims a player off waivers and has the viable claim as described above, his current team (the "waiving team") may choose one of the following options: * arrange a trade with the claiming team for that player within two business days of the claim; or * rescind the request and keep the player on its major league roster, effectively canceling the waiver; or * do nothing and allow the claiming team to (1) assume the player's existing contract, (2) pay the waiving team a waiver fee, and (3) place the player on its active major league roster. If a player is claimed and the waiving team exercises its rescission option, the waiving team may not use the option again for that player in that season. If no team claims a player from waivers in three business days, the player has cleared waivers and may be assigned to a minor league team, traded, or released outright. The waiver "wire" is a secret within the personnel of the Major League Baseball clubs; no announcement of a waiver is made until a transaction actually occurs. Many players are often quietly waived during the August "waiver-required" trading period to gauge trade interest in a particular player. Usually, when the player is claimed, the waiving team will rescind the waiver to avoid losing the player unless a trade can be worked out with the claiming team

Who was the last Twins pitcher to throw a no hitter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Carlos Zambrano was the last Cub Pitcher to throw a no hitter. He was two batters away from a perfect game. It was a 5-0 win on September 14, 2008 against Houston but the game relocated to Milwaukee due to Houston getting hit hard by Hurricane Ike. Milwaukee's Miller Park was chosen in part because of it being a Domed Stadium while there were heavy rains across the US. Milt Pappas pitched the next to last no hitter for the Chicago Cubs on September 2, 1972 an 8-0 win against San Diego.

What direction does home plate face at the new Twins Target Field ball park?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, baseball fields are laid out in a variety of directions. However, early baseball rules recommended that the field be laid out with the line between home plate and 2nd base running north to south and 3rd to 1st east to west. Not sure why this was recommended, but speculate that because all baseball was played in the daytime before the 1930s, that it was preferred to have the sun setting behind 1st base so that the firstbaseman would not have a "sun in the eyes" problem on throws to first.

According to the 2012 Major League Baseball rules a baseball field is recommended to face east northeast.
