I was not around to see Oliva, but I'm really surprised at so many people here taking him over Mauer.

Even looking back now at their careers on B-Ref, the performance of these two guys is like comparing Justin Morneau to Kent Hrbek. Mauer was a markedly better player. 

It is said by many pop culture observers that we are in an age of nostalgia. This would certainly follow that trend.

If you're going by Position, then Earl Battey would be the first pic for the Twins, He was tough! and feared by baserunners. But if you are going by Batting Stats. Oliva carried 3 Batting titles. (Silver Slugger) his first was his Rookie Year. as far as Fielding because of the Atrocious conditions he worked under the was Twisting his Ankle and playing through it, as fa as Homeruns Oliva again leads the two.
