Historically, the Minnesota Twins have a checkered history at the designated hitter position. The first year for DHs was 1973, and the Twins had the legendary Tony Oliva serve as their first DH. He hit the first ever home run for the position against Hall of Famer Catfish Hunter.
But over the 42 years, the Twins have had a love/hate relationship with the DH, never really having someone settle in for the long haul at the position. Instead, they most often use it as a platoon position, or a placecard for a veteran on the decline.
