perhaps not, craig… but when you compare it to the number of likely HOFers on the 2011 team… just sayin.

6 HOFers on the 1970 Twins is not farfetched.

I think Kaat has a good chance and really he should have been voted it years ago. 280+ wins, a ton of gold gloves, a great hitting pitcher, and he could run the bases. Drysdale had 209 wins. Koufax had 165 wins. Dizzy Dean had 150 wins. Numbers don’t lie.

I couldn’t agree more, it is time for Jim Kaat and Tony Oliva to get their rightful spot in the Hall of Fame! Hopefully this group of “electors” can get’er done.

I have very fond memories of that 1970 team — along with a few pieces of memorabilia packed away somewhere. My first real baseball memories are of the 1965 team and by 1970 that had solidified into a lifelong love for the Twins.
