From 1961 through 1968, especially, the Twins routinely drew fans from all the surrounding states. The scoreboard had messages in lights, welcoming the various outstate groups. And as mentioned, radio helped. The games were carried on WCCO, AM 830, which was a clear channel station that could be picked up all over the region.
Being more successful than the Chicago teams and Kansas City during those years helped as well.

Pre 1972 before the Rangers appeared on the scene, I know there were a lot of Cardinal fans all over the country. I don’t have an exact reason, maybe someone can elaborate as it was before my time.
All I can say, Cardinal fans travel well. Went to a game in Texas and it seemed louder for the RedBirds than my Rangers My family originally being from St Louis, were cardinal fans. So anyone in our family born before 72, were Cardinal fans, and anyone after that, Ranger fans. It made for the 2011 World Series a fun one…!
