I came along a little later, in Bloomington
Killebrew, Oliva, Carew, Tovar

Trivia:
The only part of the old Metropolitan Staduium that remains is the seat that Killebrew hit with the longest homerun there. It is located in its same spot in the present Mall of America:

There’s also a plaque in the floor of the mall at the spot of the old home plate...

I remember the '65 World Series - I was in Hospital Corps School at Great Lakes, IL. The Twins beat both Koufax and Drysdale and went up 2-0. After that, it was all downhill for the Twins :)
They were but the first Washington Senators team to abandon DC. The next absconders became the Texas Rangers.
