The Twins welcomed the Hall of Famer to Spring Training as a guest instructor in late February, surprising him with the entire organization wearing red Heart of 29 shirts upon his arrival. Minnesota continued to wear red jerseys with a special patch for Carew on Friday night home games throughout the year. Other clubs such as the Angels and Red Sox, as well as the Baseball Hall of Fame, also held events to raise awareness and money for the campaign.
"I think the thing that stands out to me the most is the Heart of 29 Campaign," said Twins director of community relations Bryan Donaldson.
