A Minnesota Twin for seven seasons, Joe Nathan was named an All-Star for four of them.  Nathan was not a bona fide closer until he became a Twin and he would promptly rattle off six consecutive seasons where he Saved 35 Games.  Nathan was so impressive that he had two campaigns where he finished in the top five in Cy Young voting.  As of this writing, Nathan is still in the top ten all-time in Saves, 260 of which he accumulated in Minnesota.  More notably to us, he had a very impressive WHIP of 0.956 as a Twin.

Nathan was inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame in 2019.

A Washington Senator for five seasons, Stan Spence played well enough to be named an All-Star for four of them.  While Spence was in the military during the ’45 season, he was there from ‘42 to ‘44 and back from ‘46 to ‘47.  The Centerfielder would finish eighth in MVP voting twice, both of which were .300 seasons, and accumulated 852 Hits with a .296 Batting Average with Washington.

One of the most patient hitters in baseball history, Eddie Yost would lead the American League four times in Walks as a member of the Washington Senators.  While Yost would not win an On Base Percentage Title in Washington (he did in both of his seasons in Detroit) he did exceed the .400 mark six times.  Yost would also tabulate 1,521 Hits in Washington.

A dynamo with a glove and a hitter with pop in his bat, Torii Hunter is best known for his time with the Minnesota Twins.
