Aug 31, 2021 · One thing I use to like about Kent Hrbek Outdoors is his shows accurately reflected a day on the water or in a blind. Many times they would hardly catch a thing (or they were small), or pull the trigger.

Hrbek may be “humbled” and “blessed” — two other words he used to describe his life — but he also knows that no amount of time is a given. “My father never got to enjoy a day of retirement in his life,” Hrbek said. It’s an under-appreciated story what Hrbek endured during his first years as a Twin, being a 21-, 22-year-old breaking into the big lea...
Only when asked did Hrbek offer retirement advice. “You have to have hobbies,” he said. There’s nothing wrong with watching television once in awhile, he said, but you need more than that. Hrbek has always had other things in his life besides baseball. This is a guy, recall, who went duck hunting in the hours between Games 6 and 7 of the 1987 World...
There was never a time, really, when Kent Hrbek wasn’t a Minnesota Twin. His relationship with the team began not unlike that of most fans of the era: through the sound of Herb Carneal calling games on WCCO. Hrbek’s mother, Tina Hrbek, had an old green transistor radio, and she would always listen to Twins games, even while hanging clothes out on t...
In truth, Hrbek still works. You’ve no doubt seen him on television promoting Carrier air conditioners for Minnesota Air. He started doing the spots during his playing days. Over time he and the company’s owner, Mike Metzger, became close, so he never stopped helping his friend. “There are some people who know me more for selling air conditioners t...
But for one decision during his career he seriously considered making, Hrbek’s life today might be very different. Before he signed his last contract in 1989, he received significant offers from Boston and Detroit. He could have gotten somewhat more money, he said, and remembers emotional conversations with his then-wife. Imagine how that one decis...
He had a Hall-of-Fame swing and he was gifted with his glove. Jim Kaat, who won 16 Gold Gloves as a Major League pitcher, called Hrbek the greatest fielding first baseman he ever saw. Still, no one argues that Hrbek is the greatest player in Twins history. His career wasn’t long enough or productive enough — only once did he appear in 150 games — t...
With deference to the old Minneapolis Lakers and the modern-day Minnesota Lynx, the Twins’ World Series wins in ’87 and ’91 are unique in Minnesota sports history. Nothing compares to the way those title runs were celebrated. You may wonder if Hrbek gets tired of fans (or nondescript writers) asking him about events that took place half a lifetime ...
