And you have to guess in the comments section here.

 

Shoot

 

the winner will be announced early April

I have the answer, but I'm not going to post at your blog (don't have a sign in, don't want one.)

 

Rod Carew is the only Twins HOF member who is also a member of another team's HOF (Angels.)

 

Someone can now take my answer and go post on Thrylos' blog.

[Thrylos]

nah.... wrong ( ) And I hate to give hints about that

[Guest USAFChief]

Which other Twins HOF member is a member of another team's HOF?

[Nick Nelson]

This is the most silly and vague contest question I've ever heard. There are literally dozens of ways it could be answered correctly.

[WJ]

Carl Pohlad. Only member to win a Bronze Star and Purple Heart.

[woolhouse]

Greg Gagne. Only player to share a name with a former professional wrestler (albeit a different pronunciation.)

[Ultima Ratio]

Frank Viola is the only member whose last name is also a french word.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Like Chief said, this is kind of arbitrary... but my guess (posted on the coments). Jim Rantz is the only guy who never actually played a MLB game for the Twins.

[John Bonnes]

I wonder if any of them were an actual twin - i.e. had a bother or sister born on the same day.

[nicksaviking]

Jim Rantz is the only one still employed by the organization and employed in the same postion he is best known for. TK and Oliva have helped as spring training instructors, and Blyleven is an announcer, but Rantz is still in the front office.

[Thrylos]

Seems like someone (almost) gave the correct answer but in the wrong place

[Highabove]

I've been looking for a Lenny Faedo Bat for years.

[spideyo]

Wait...did Herb Carneal and Calvin Griffith play in Twins games? On the blog someone said Jim Rantz is the only one who didn't...that can't be right

It isn't right

[Guest USAFChief]

It isn't right

Which is how it's "different" than all the other answers...which ARE right.

cause I need to pay closer attention when I'm reading... wow... FAIL

[Brandon Warne]

Carl Pohlad is the only owner in any teams HOF?

[woolhouse]

Bert Blyleven is the only one who loves farts.

[Cris E]

The only billionaire. The only Dutchman. The only root beer magnate. The only MVP. The only one without a food stand at Target Field.

[Brandon Warne]

Only one won a world series somewhere else? (Aguilera)

[Thrylos]

Only one won a world series somewhere else? (Aguilera)

Kaat and Blyleven did also

[Brandon Warne]

Only one played with the Twins and managed the Twins. (Tom Kelly)

[WJ]

Calvin Griffith. The only one with a son who exposed himself to a law student. And the only Canadian.

[UCLA_YANKEE_COLA]

Gary Gaetti is the only one to play Splinter.

 

I also have a trivia question for you guys to answer.

 

Only several times in Twins history has THIS happened. What is THIS?

 

Winner will get the RF foul pole from Target Field.

The Twins went to the world series.

[Teflon]

It' a trick question. None of them are different. The only Twin who was different was Bernardo Brito.

[UCLA_YANKEE_COLA]

Close enough! Just pick up your prize at the next game you attend.

[East Coast Twin]

Does this contest have a conclusion?

[twinscowboysbulls]
