Minnesota Twins tickets

Kirby Puckett:Puckett was a gifted sparkplug of a player who played for the Minnesota Twins, all Minnesota Twins Tickets and Schedule available. Standing 5'8" and weighing 210 pounds, Puckett was fast and a fine fielding outfielder who could hit for average and for power. The only real weakness in his game was an un¬willingness to draw walks, keeping his career on-base per¬centage at a rather anemic .363.
Puckett hit .318 with 207 home runs and 134 stolen bases in his 12-year career. Adjusted for 1 percent career hitter's inflation, he hit .315 with 214 home runs. His 888 Total Factor ranks 17th in league rate of success for outfielders, while his 500 Hits Contribution ranks 19th in league volume of success. Puckett would have ranked higher in volume of success if he wasn't forced to retire with eye problems at age 34.

Goose Goslin:Goslin was one of baseball's first power hitters, hit¬ting .316 with 248 home runs and 921 extra base hits in 9,661 total at bats, while stealing 175 bases. He even hit 37 home runs in 1930, after a sore arm caused Washing-ton to trade him to St. Louis early in the season. Goslin played for pennant winners in Washington in 1924, 1925, and 1933, and in Detroit in 1934 and 1935. Goslin benefited from hitter's inflation during his entire career. Adjusted for 7 percent career inflation, he hit .296 with 246 home runs. His 847 Total Factor places him only 46th in league rate of success, but his 435 Hits Contribution ranks 23rd in league volume of success.

Chuck Knoblauch: Knoblauch was rookie of the year with a .281 aver-age and 25 steals for the surprising 1991 Minnesota Twins, who went from last the previous year to win the 1991 World Series. Knoblauch had productive seasons for a financially weak Twins organization from 1992 to 1997, but the team's lack of talent kept him out of the playoffs. He joined the Yan¬kees in 1998, and played on three world champion teams in 1998-2000. The 32-year-old Knoblauch is hitting .297 with 83 home runs and 350 steals in a career that includes a Gold Glove Award in 1997 and an extremely wild throwing arm in both 1999 and 2000. Adjusted for a career of 5 per-cent hitter's inflation, he is batting .283 with 82 home runs. His 796 Total Factor ranks 13th in league rate of success at second, while his 352 Hits Contribution also ranks him 13th in league volume of success.
