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.

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. If not for knee problems which cut his career short, Oliva would have been a certain choice for the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

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. He was inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame on August 12, 2000, and was named one of the "50 Greatest Twins" in 2010. In 2013, he became the eighth ever recipient of the Herb Carneal "Lifetime Achievement" Award.

The 2021 season will be Dick Bremer's 38th season as a broadcaster for the Twins. The Minnesota native graduated from St. Cloud State University in 1978. Following his graduation he worked for three years in Cedar Rapids, IA as a sportscaster for WMT-Radio and TV (now KGAN-TV). While there, he began his play-by-play career doing University of Iowa basketball for two years.

He was named weekend sportscaster at WTCN-TV (now KARE-11) in 1981. After two years, he left to begin his Twins play-by-play career with Spectrum Sports in 1983. He remained there until 1985 while also doing Minnesota North Stars games. He rejoined the Twins broadcast team in 1987 and has remained there working for Twinsvision, Midwest Sports Channel and FS North.

In 2013, Dick was the recipient of the Silver Circle Emmy for Broadcast Excellence and inducted into the Minnesota Museum of Broadcasting Hall of Fame.

Throughout his career, he has also done Minnesota Vikings preseason football, University of Minnesota men's hockey, football and basketball, Big Ten basketball, and the Minnesota State High School League's football and girls' and boys' basketball tournaments.

Dick and his wife, Heidi, along with son Erik and daughter Hannah, make their home in St. Michael, MN.
