With yesterday being Jackie Robinson Day, we took a look at the top players to wear the Number 42 in team history. We wanted to keep that going, picking out the best players to wear each number for the Minnesota Twins.
In order to make this list, we took a look at Baseball Almanac’s list and Baseball Reference’s List of every player to wear each number (to make sure no one was left out), and chose the player that was the greatest Twin (or Senator) at each number.
Players in Major League baseball didn’t start wearing numbers until 1929, so most of the Senators best players (Hall of Famers Walter Johnson, Sam Rice, Goose Goslin, Joe Cronin) don’t make an appearance.
