César Tovar is still not in the Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame. One of the best table-setters in all of baseball from the late 60s through the early 70s, Tovar highlights an era of Twins baseball that's being overlooked by voters. In this video, I talk about why I think Tovar hasn't made it into the team's Hall of Fame yet and do my best to present an argument as to why he should be enshrined.

    Pepe ,, loved that game he played all nine positions...

    Loved that game in early  1969 where tovar and carew ran wild stealing bases and both stealing home in same inning   , both of them steal home , 5 stole base in same inning combined against lefthander lolich and catcher freehan  ,,,

    different game back then  ,  let the boys of summer run ..

    Made game very interesting  ,

    No strategy in roccos game suck  ,,,

    I would vote Rocco into the hall of shame ...

     

     tovar  ( pepe ) was fun to watch and sure was a hero of many young and old twins  fans so yes he needs a twins Hall of fame

    He's one of my All-Time favorite Twins.  He was our leadoff hitter.  When I played, I was the leadoff hitter.  I always had a special affinity for guys who hit leadoff...Tovar, Brock, Wills, Lopes,  later, Molitor, Ricky Henderson.  He was just a very fun player to watch and root for.  For those of us who grew up in the 60's and early 70's Pepe was a gem.  Put. Him. In.
