Playing for the Washington Senators for all of his eighteen MLB seasons, Ossie Bluege was not known as a great hitter, though he was consistent enough to put together 1,751 Hits over his tenure.  Bluege was best known for his defensive skills at the hot corner and would likely have been a multi-time Gold Glove winner had that award existed at the time.

One of the most popular Twins of all time, Gary Gaetti was not just a two-time All-Star in the eyes of Minnesota fans.  Finishing 10th overall in MVP voting twice, Gaetti secured himself in Twins folklore by hitting home runs in his first two at bats en route to winning the 1987 American League Championship Series MVP, the same season where he helped Minnesota win their first World Series since the relocation.

An exceptionally versatile player (he was the second player in MLB to play all nine positions in a game) Cesar Tovar had five straight seasons where he collected more than 150 Hits and received votes for the MVP.  The Venezuelan would lead the AL in Hits in 1971 and while he was considered to be good, he surprisingly never made an All-Star Team.  

WIth Minnesota, Tovar batted .281 with 1,164 Hits and 186 Stolen Bases, and the Twins inducted him into their Hall of Fame in 2022.

Justin Morneau continued the evolution of Canadian Baseball players, who along with Joe Mauer and Johan Santana, was part of a group of star players that the Twins had in the 2000s.

Morneau debuted for the Twins in 2002, and became their lead First Baseman two years later.  He had his best season in 2005, winning the MVP on a 34 HR/130 RBI season while batting .321, but he was not boing to be a one-great season player.  Morneau went to the next four All-Star Games, and was second for the MVP in 2007.   He also had a four-year run (2005-08) where he had at least 23 Home Runs, 100 RBI, and batted at least .270 with a Slugging Percentage of .490 or greater.  

As Morneau declined, he became expandable, and the then-struggling Twins traded him to Pittsburgh during the 2012 Season.  WIth Minnesota, Morneau batted .278 with 1,318 Hits and 221 Home Runs.

Morneau entered the Twins Hall of Fame in 2020.
