I am attending a Twins Cities baseball doubleheader on Sunday; a major league Minnesota Twins game in the afternoon in Minneapolis, and a minor league St. Paul Saints game in the evening in St. Paul. As I was thinking about Twins and Saints, I started to wonder, “Has there ever been any saints that were twins?” I did a little internet research and found out that in fact, there are a few cases of twins that became saints. Reading through the history, it is evident that there is no certainty that some of the sibling saints were actually twins because they lived early in the first millennium and there is little or nothing known about their childhoods. However, one pair reputed to be twins is St. Benedict (480-547) and his sister St. Scholastica (480-543). I found this fascinating because they both have colleges in Minnesota name for them; College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph and College of St. Scholastica in Duluth. So it turns out that the baseball Twins and Saints perhaps have a secondary meaning to their names that goes beyond the cities in which they play their games.
