Page "Minnesota Twins" Paragraph 24

In 2008, the Twins finished the regular season tied with the White Sox on top of the AL Central, forcing a one-game playoff in Chicago to determine the division champion.

The Twins lost that game and missed the playoffs.

The game location was determined by rule of a coin flip that was conducted in mid-September.

This rule was changed for the start of the 2009 season, making the site for any tiebreaker game to be determined by the winner of the regular season head-to-head record between the teams involved.
