A feared knuckleball pitcher (Jackie Robinson said as much), Dutch Leonard went to three All-Star Games as a Washington Senator.  For a knuckballer, Leonard had very good control, twice leading the AL in BB/9 and once and WHIP.  As a testament o his lack of walks delivered, Leonard once led the league in SO/BB, which was especially incredible considering that he was not regarded as a Pitcher who struck out many batters.

With the Senators, Leonard had a record of 118-101 with a 3.27 ERA.

A Cy Young Award winner in 1970, Jim Perry would go 128 and 90 for Minnesota in a ten-year span.  Perry rattled off two straight 20 Win Seasons and was known for possessing good control as shown by two appearances in the to five in BB/9.  He would also represent Minnesota in two All-Star Games, but he will always be best known in the Twin Cities for winning the 1970 Cy Young in a season where he went 24 and 12.

Minnesota selected Perry for their Hall of Fame in 2011.

Nicknamed “Deerfoot” for his speed on the basepaths, Clyde Milan would collect 2,100 Hits in a career that was spent only with the Washington Senators.  His best run was from 1911 to 1913, where he batted over. 300 in each season, and would twice lead the American League in Stolen Bases, the first of which (88) would set a modern record at the time.  In each of those years, he finished in the top ten in MVP voting.

Milan batted .285 with 495 Stolen Bases over his career.

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.
