Who Am I? (All-Star Edition)


You guessed it, this time around we focus on Twins who made the mid-summer classic.

Who Am I?

  • I made the mid-summer classic just once.
  • Former Twin Rod Carew made the squad with me, playing my position.
  • In my only plate apperance, I flew out to shallow center field.
  • The guy who started at my position during the game was a slugger from Milwaukee.

Who Am I?

  • I made three All-Star teams, all consecutively.
  • Four pitchers, excluding myself, appeared in the game that would play for the Twins at some point in their careers.  One of them was a current teammate, two were former Twins, and one would be a Twin in the near future.
  • I pitched 1.1 innings in my first Classic, striking out Eddie Murray, Paul O'Neill and Howard Johnson.

Who Am I?

  • I made 18 consecutive All-Star appearances, 12 with the Twins.

Who Am I?

  • I made two All-Star teams, back-to-back, but just the first was with the Twins.
  • In my lone plate appearance in the game I appeared in representing the Twins, I flew out to shallow right field.
  • I came in 12th in MVP voting that season.

Who Am I?

  • The year I went, I was the team's representative.  I wasn't actually chosen to play.
  • I led off the top of the eighth inning, and struck out looking.
  • I led the Twins with 16 home runs that season.
