  1. The Knoblauch stolen base total was the stat that surprised me most. Forgot how many there were; so I guess that dovetails with what Thrylos98 just said.

  2. Good stuff! If you add the 31 HRs by Killebrew and the 1 win by Kaat for the 1960 Senators (to have 10 years in that decade), their numbers become so much more impressive compared to the rest. Still amazed that the Twins have retired Hrbek’s number but not Kaat’s… Must be one of the most unappreciated by the organization former Twins’ players (Knoblauch leads that list…)
