Here is the challenge: Find the one who is different than the others. That's the game. I'll let it run until I return from Fort Myers early April. The first person who will guess who is different that the others and why, will win a game used bat of a Twins' first round pick.
And you have to guess in the comments section here.
Shoot :)
the winner will be announced early April

Camilo Pascual, reason tbd.
Nah... and I should quit giving hints ;)
Tom Kelly, only one to manage the team.
Bert Blyleven, only player/coach/announcer with TWO stints as member of Twins
Herb Carneal
Herb is the only person on the list who was never on the Twins Payroll He officially worked for WCCO.
Jim Rantz is the only person to be a member of the Twins organization continuously since 1961.
Rantz is interesting as he has been with the Twins, and is still with the Twins, for their entire time in Minnesota, making him the longest tenured Twin EVER.
Rod Carew also appears to the the only 2B on the list. As Gaetti is the only 3B. And Battey the only C.
TK also only manager on the list, to boot. Does anyone on this list have MORE than 2 WS titles?
Calvin Griffith is the only Canadian, and the only one on the list in the Canadian Baseball Hall Of Fame
George Brophy -- only member of Twins HOF that also won the Topps Long Meritorious Service Award.
Jim Rantz because he's the only member still working for the Twins or currently active member
Camilo Pascual is the only member not yet inducted as it will happen this season!
Rod Carew because he's the only hitter to win a batting title without hitting a home run!
Frank Viola - Only WS MVP
Kirby Puckett - Only AS MVP, only ALCS MVP
Rick Aguilera - Only Twins closer on the list.
Jim Kaat - Only Twins P on the list (Santana) to win a Gold Glove (16)
Brad Radke - Only pitcher to pitch with a torn labrum
Gary Gaetti - His name is the only name that rhymes with Spaghetti.
Man, this is really subjective. Lord knows what you're looking for. I really want a wooden bat.
Gary Gaetti for hitting a HR in his first Major League AB & his first Postseason AB (and his first 2 postseason ABs) and for starting two triple plays in one game!
Jim Rantz is the only person on this list who never played an MLB game for the Minnesota Twins.
Kent Hrbek is the only Minnesotan
Bert Blyleven is the only Dutchman.
