Tacoma Twins
August 14, 2017
The Tacoma Twins of the Pacific Coast League were the top farm club of the Minnesota Twins from 1972 until 1977. During this era, Tacoma helped to develop future Major League stars Lyman Bostock and Rick Dempsey. Perhaps the Tacoma Twins best player, by Class AAA standards, was first baseman Randy Bass. Bass slugged 64 home runs for Tacoma between 1975 and 1977. Though his Major League career never took off, Bass became a superstar in Japan winning back-to-back Japanese Triple Crowns in 1985 and 1986.
