The 1998 Minnesota Twins season was the 38th season for the Minnesota Twins franchise in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, their 17th season at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome and the 98th overall in the American League.
The team finished with a 70–92 record, with subpar batting and pitching. The season was not without its bright spots, as individual players had solid seasons and Hall of Fame designated hitter Paul Molitor announced his retirement at the end of the season. Tom Kelly's team had plenty of lowlights, most notably David Wells' perfect game against the team on May 17 at Yankee Stadium.
