One of the most popular Minnesota Twins in franchise history (he is from Minneapolis after all!) Kent Hrbek would play every MLB game of his career for the Twin Cities.  Hrbek was the runner-up for the American League Rookie of the Year (to Cal Ripken Jr.) in 1982 and would be a consistent fixture for the team for the next decade.  Hrbek, would finish second in MVP voting in 1984 and would overall tabulate 1,749 Hits and 293 Home Runs over his career.  He is best known for hitting a Grand Slam in the ’87 World Series and was also instrumental in the team winning again in 1991.

Minnesota retired his number 14 in 1995 and inducted Hrbek to their Hall of Fame in 2000, which was their inaugural class.
