Next Question:

How many 20 game winners have the Twins had? Name the pitcher and year accomplished.

[catman]

Actually the pitcher I was looking for was Dean Chance. One was a rain-shortened perfect game in which the umpire came out to him at the end of the 5th inning and said "Congratulations. This game is over." I met Mr. Chance yesterday and asked him about that game. He said it was a lousy day and he was just happy to get to the showers.
Twins 20-game winners:
Camilo Pascual -- 1962 and 63
Mudcat Grant -- 1965
Dean Chance -- 1967
Jim Perry -- 1969 and 70
Dave Boswell -- 1969
Bert Blyleven -- 1973

He hit 10 as a Twin. You're up for the next question.

They have not done so.

That would be correct, you got the next question
