It is always fun to look back and see if former Minnesota Twins players were as good as you remember them.
Today we look back and see what Twins players had the lowest batting average in a season in which they had 500 or more at bats. Not a great list for Zoilo to appear on just two years removed from winning the American leagues MVP award. I was surprised to see a current Twins player on this list. Some pretty good players on this list but you have to be a good player to get 500 at bats in a big league season.
