Another championship team, the Minnesota Twins (baseball), won in 1987 and 1991. They won the World Series 1991 games, in a gripping finale that saw the favorites, Atlanta Braves bite the dust. The Minnesota Vikings were another baseball team that played major league matches. It failed to win any championships through the 1960s to the present, though making it to the semi finals at NFC in 1998 and 2000.

Other teams are the Minnesota Thunder (soccer), Swarm (lacrosse), and Lynx (women's basketball), and Vixens (women's football).

Other pro team was the Minnesota Millers, established in 1884. Its history is closely connected to the (now non-existent) Athletic Park. It moved to the Nicollet Baseball Park in 1896. If you are a movie buff, then you would probably remember the Geena Davis starrer "A League of Their Own". A bit of trivia here- the Minneapolis Millerettes, whose story is told in the movie, had its home in the Nicollet Park.
