2024 – Just days after Joe Mauer was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, the Twins announced that Terry Ryan, the general manager who drafted him, will be inducted to the Twins Hall of Fame this summer. Ryan and longtime coach Rick Stelmaszek, who passed away in 2017, were voted into the team’s Hall of Fame by a Veterans Committee made up of Twins hall of famers, team executives and local baseball historians, and they will be inducted in a pregame ceremony on August 10, becoming the 39th and 40th members of the exclusive club.

2012 – Twins President Dave St. Peter revealed today at an annual awards banquet at Target Field that the Minnesota Twins will retire former manager Tom Kelly’s uniform number 10 during a ceremony before a game against Cleveland on September 8, 2012. The 61-year-old Kelly was very emotional after the announcement. Kelly is the seventh Twin to have his number retired.
