Pedro 'Tony' Oliva Jr., or 'Tony-O' to those who followed his 24-year career as a Twins player and coach, was a man who seemed to excel in all aspects of the game. He could hit for power and average, run, field and throw, and his versatility made him one of the most feared hitters of his day. He was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in December 2021 and is set to be inducted on July 24, 2022.

Tony-O collected 1,917 hits and retired with a .304 career average. He is the only player to win batting titles in his first two seasons and was the winner of three in his 15-year career, which still stands as the club's longevity mark. His prowess as a hitter was demonstrated in the fact that he led the league in hits five times, and his 220 career home runs rank fourth all-time among Twins.

Oliva, the 1964 American League Rookie of the Year, began his coaching career in 1976. He also works as a hitting instructor in the Twins minor league system and scouts for the club. He had his number 6 retired July 14, 1991 and was selected to the Twins 25th Anniversary Team in 1986 and the 40th Season Anniversary All-Time Team in 2000.
