	Kent Hrbek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 2000, his first year of eligibility, Hrbek garnered only 5 votes, nowhere near the 5% minimum threshhold for continued eligibility, and is thus ineligible for the Hall of Fame unless voted in by the Veterans Committee.
		Kent Hrbek's number 14 was retired by the Twins in 1995, becoming one of only three others at the time (Harmon Killebrew, Rod Carew, and Tony Oliva) in franchise history.
		Hrbek was one of seven Twins to be part of both the 1987 and 1991 World Series teams.

	Kent Hrbek \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Kent Hrbek was an instant fan favorite when he joined the Twins in 1982, following a.379 batting average in the California League, best among all pro hitters in 1981.
		Hrbek thumped a circuit blast to aid the club's Game One victory, but his most memorable contribution during the series came in Game Two, when he snuffed out a Braves' rally with a bit of first base chicanery.
		Hrbek retired after the players strike prematurely ended the 1994 season, and had his number retired by Minnesota in August 1995.

	Save the Minnesota Twins.com - Articles - Ventura Wanted Hrbek for Lieutenant Governor
		MINNEAPOLIS -- When Kent Hrbek played for the Minnesota Twins, he frequently pinned teammates to the clubhouse floor, then predicted a future for himself in pro wrestling.
		But when Jesse (The Body) Ventura asked Hrbek during the summer to be his tag-team partner — better known as lieutenant governor — in the gubernatorial race, Hrbek disqualified himself, saying he couldn't govern with a foreign object (a fishing pole, shotgun or bowling ball) in his hands.
		Hrbek is leaving for a quail-hunting fundraiser to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation in Mitchell, S.D. Although the former first baseman didn't help Ventura get to first base in the campaign, he said he'd be glad to lend Ventura a hand.

		He brought in Scherrer, a left-hander, in the eighth inning to pitch to left-hand-hitting Hrbek, and Hrbek led off with a towering homer to right, his third in two nights.

		Better to play on the same team with him rather then against him because he really enjoyed hitting against me. I have told Kent that the only reason he retired was because my pitching days had come to a close.

	How heinous? - Baseball Fever
		Hrbek was my favorite player at the time, but I thought it was a bush maneuver.
		Hrbek claimed he didn't push the runner off first base, but because the runner had strayed off base he used his glove to keep him from getting back in.
		As I recall the play, Gant was very off balance or leaning anyway, and Hrbek kind of used this to his advantage, "scooping" Gant off the bag using Gant's own weight to do it.

		Hrbek's offensive turned stale after his homerun in Game 1.
		In Game 7, with the score still tied 0-0 in the 8th inning, Hrbek executed a very uncommon 3-2-3 bases-loaded double play that saved the Twins against the Braves biggest threat of the game, which led to the Twins 10-inning, 1-0 win, in dramatic fashion.
