Along with Kirby Puckett is the 36th player to be elected to the Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility.
Is one of seven players in baseball history to reach both 3,000 hits (3,110) and 400 (465) home runs.
Ranks in the top 20 all-time in hits, RBI, games, at-bats, doubles, and total bases.
Was selected to 12 consecutive All-Star teams and was a seven-time Gold Glove winner.
In 1980, signed a then-record-setting 10 year, $23 million contract with the New York Yankees.
At the age of 41, was a key member of the 1992 World Champion Toronto Blue Jays.
Collected his 3,000th hit in 1993 while playing for his hometown team, the Minnesota Twins.
Selected by the San Diego Padres in the June, 1973 draft, he made the rare jump from amateur baseball (where he played for the University of Minnesota) directly to the major leagues.
Was drafted by four teams in three different sports: the Padres (first round, fourth overall pick), the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA and the Utah Stars of the ABA, and the Minnesota Vikings of the NFL.
