Carew has been a fixture at TwinsFest over the years, but after he suffered the heart attack, he had a left ventricular assist device surgically implanted to help maintain the pumping of his heart as he awaits a possible heart transplant. Carew is feeling good enough to attend the event, but he won't be able to sign autographs.
