TONY OLIVA

Mr. Twin.

There is no greater ambassador for the game of baseball and the Minnesota Twins than Tony-O.

Three batting championships, eight All Star Games, the 1964 AL Rookie of the Year... Tony has a Hall of Fame resume.  And he would be a Hall of Famer if not for having his career interrupted and eventually cut short by chronic knee problems.  There's still hope that he'll get in someday through the Veterans Committee.  I hope it happens in his lifetime.
