Kirby Puckett. Right alongside Kirby was the G Man Gary Gaetti and the local legend Kent Hrbek.

This sounds like the Wilf family, not the Pohlads.

Bret Boone - 14 games in 2005.

The Twins cancelled his induction into the Twins Hall of Fame in 2014 when he was charged with assaulting a family member. He certainly deserves it based on the numbers. I wonder if the Twins will ever change course and induct Knoblauch into the Twins Hall of Fame?

Darn, why did I give away my Eddie Rosario shirt to charity?

1. Nah 2. Nope 3. No way 4. Sorry 5. Not now 6. Certainly not 7. By no means 8. I shall not. 9. Not likely 10. No thanks! 11. I think not. 12. Unfortunately not 13. I’m slammed 14. Not possible 15.

Losing fans in this type of scenario is a reality. My brother left baseball fandom in 1994 and I've rarely heard him mention the game since.

I'd rather see a season opening rotation with Ober, Ryan, Dobnak, Balazovic, and Duran over Dylan Bundy. Maybe the FO can catch lightning in a bottle with Bundy, doubtful though.

Hall of Very Good along with Torii Hunter. Hall of Horrible as a broadcaster so far. Yes, he has improved since he started. He's still awful behind the mic and having Mr. Bland Dick Bremer by his side doesn't help.

Yes, this is an instant classic. Although, within a week of Thanksgiving, it's nightmarish to have Zach "I missed first base" Granite jammed back into your stream of consciousness.

As a fellow Twins fan who lived through the Ron Davis years, this is accurate. You never really recover from the RD experience. I remember a middle school Spanish class where the authorized topic of conversation for the entire hour was how awful RD was.

Not the greatest moments in Twins history. I prefer to relive the memories of 1987, 1991, 2019, etc. I think it's pretty clear that the Pohlad empire wasn't necessarily built in the most scrupulous way. Didn't Carl make some nasty banking maneuvers back in the day?

I already have my hotel reservations in Cooperstown so I can witness the 2024 Hall of Fame induction of Joe Mauer.

They were both before my time. However, if I had a vote then they both are in as no brainers.

This seems coincidental and not anything done with any purpose by the Twins coaching staff.

The Twins were World Series champions twice in the Metrodome.

La Tortuga can do anything he wants.

No real success in the playoffs, no signature moment that had a lasting impact, and a bland personality. None of this should really matter too much in HOF conversations, yet it does.

He should switch his jersey number to 47. AK47 on the back of the jersey would be sweet.

When the season finally ended and there was no more pain.

Happy that this train wreck on top of a car crash of a season is over and done with. I felt a bit of sadness on Sunday that there is no more Twins baseball for 2021... yet, no more pain. Sweet release.

120 games is a full season for a center fielder now?

I can't remember a season where there were fewer things to care about at the end of a losing season. I see very few items of interest to keep the fan base engaged.

The best ability is availability.

No research necessary - we are one of the worst of all time.
