Player Biography
“He’s got everything – intelligence, strength, confidence, speed afoot and hand-eye coordination,” manager Gene Mauch said of Rod Carew. “Many ballplayers are pleasant to manage, but managing Rod is a privilege.” Carew was a pure hitter who, as pitcher Ken Holtzman described, “could move the bat around as if it were a magic wand.” In 19 seasons with the Minnesota Twins and California Angels, Carew won seven American League batting titles, hitting .300 or better for 15 consecutive seasons while compiling a .328 career average. He won the 1967 A.L. Rookie of the Year Award and the 1977 A.L. Most Valuable Player Award and played in 18 All-Star games.
