There were scores of Minnesota Twins the past few days – 75 sets of them, in fact – thanks to the annual convention of the International Twins Association, which met at the Marriott Hotel in Bloomington. The annual event, which the Oklahoma-based group says is largely a social gathering, was held in Minneapolis in 1962 and in St. Paul in 1986.
