I'm pretty certain that is the trophy given to all team associates, and not the trophy taken out of the Metrodome trophy case. The Twins World championship trophies I'm pretty sure I've seen on display during Twins Fest and they are pretty beat up.
I could be wrong, I wouldn't put anything past my team. Maybe if it sells high enough they will make a honest effort to sign Santana.

Yep. I have always understood the procedure to be that all of the players and staff members of the team receive a replica of the trophy. I'm pretty sure that a player copy came up for auction not too long ago.
The "real" WS trophies are bigger. I know this for a fact because the A's had their 1972-74 ones on display when you walked into their offices. Smaller ones can be ordered for front office staff. I had a collector friend who managed to score one and the description sounds about right.

And what's their 1989 championship, chopped liver?
Hello, Thank you for contacting Heritage Sports Collectibles. This trophy is not a replica, it comes from a member of the front office and is 100% original and authentic. There are two types of trophies that are given out to the World Series Champions every season. The team is presented with one 24" tall version and each of the players and staff members are presented with a 12" version. This is the 12" version as it states in the description "Gold colored pennants representing all Major League teams, flying a foot high at center". Thank you for your inquiry. Regards, Chris
None of this is in the description on their auction. Unless they changed it.

Why on earth would the Twins organization want to sell this?....
Assuming it's legit, that would be some conversation piece!...
ALWAYS Looking for Chris Sabo cards!

Basicly the way it is worded in the description and TITLE, it is misleading and violates Ebay's policy.
And a Minnesotan.
And Scandinavian.
Lucky guy.

If you "value" customers, award them their LEGITIMATE wins! Boycott Heritage!!!
Is this in reference to some sort of bait and switch scheme?
Curious.

<< <i>A foot tall seems awfully short for the world series trophy. I'm guessing this is not the official trophy. >>
That is what I was wondering, it did look kind of small to me too.
