California Angels at Minnesota Twins - Radio Broadcast / The 1971 season saw contrasting fortunes for the Los Angeles Angels and the Minnesota Twins in Major League Baseball. The Angels, led by manager Lefty Phillips, finished with a disappointing 76-86 record, landing them fourth in the American League West division. Despite the efforts of slugger Tony Conigliaro and pitcher Clyde Wright, the team struggled to find consistency and fell short of playoff contention.
In contrast, the Twins, under manager Bill Rigney, enjoyed a successful campaign, finishing with an 85-77 record, placing them second in the American League West. The team showcased a strong offense, spearheaded by the likes of Harmon Killebrew, Tony Oliva, and Rod Carew. However, their efforts were overshadowed by the dominant Oakland Athletics, who claimed the division title. While the Twins missed out on the postseason, their solid performance laid the foundation for future success.
