Gary Gaetti became the 18th inductee into the Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame on August 19th. The induction ceremony was held as the final part of the 20th anniversary celebration honoring the 1987 World Series champion Twins.

He played third base for the Twins for ten years during his 20-year major league career and was a member of the 1987 World Series champion Twins team.

Gaetti was the MVP of American League Championship Series in 1987, ranks fifth on the Twins' all-time list in doubles (252) and RBIs (758). He ranks sixth in games (1,361), at-bats (4,989), hits (1,276), home runs (201) and total bases (2,181). His .977 fielding percentage in 1988 is the highest single-season percentage by any Twins third baseman.

The two-time All-Star and four-time Gold Glove winner is currently the hitting coach for Tampa Bay's Triple-A affiliate in Durham, North Carolina.
