Minnesota Twins: Jack Morris, Jim Thome each mention great memories of playing for the Twins in HOF speeches

The Minnesota Twins have likely never seen two players like Jim Thome and Jack Morris steal the hearts of fans in such a short amount of time. Fittingly, both Thome and Morris were part of the 2018 Hall of Fame class. In their speeches, both recall fond memories of their time playing for the Twins.

Morris was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in 1976, made his professional debut in 1977, and played most of his career with the Tigers. And even though Morris spent most of his time in Detroit, and was part of three World Series champion teams over his career, he may forever be best known for his time with the Twins in 1991 and his World Series Game 7 performance.
