Twins to enshrine two icons in team's Hall of Fame in 2024

It's been a fame-filled week for the Minnesota Twins. 

On Tuesday, Joe Mauer received four votes over the minimum to get elected to the baseball Hall of Fame and on Friday the Twins announced two new members of the team's Hall of Fame: former general manager Terry Ryan and the late Rick Stelmaszek, who as the club's bullpen coach for 32 years. 

“The Minnesota Twins would not be the organization we are today without the enduring legacies of Terry Ryan and Rick Stelmaszek,” Twins President Dave St. Peter said in a statement. 

“Terry’s footprint is still felt within our organization and his impact across various aspects of baseball operations, from scouting and beyond, is evident in every club he led. Similarly, ‘Stelly’ helped guide generations of Twins pitchers to greatness over more than three decades coaching in our organization, and his legacy endures in each new wave of Twins players who train on the practice field at Lee Health Sports Complex that bears his name.”
