Kelly managed the Twins to World Series titles in 1987 and 1991, and is the team's all-time leader in games managed (2,384), victories (1,140) and losses (1,244). His No. 10 was retired by the team in 2012.
The statue will be the eighth at Target Field, joining those of Rod Carew, Harmon Killebrew, Kirby Puckett, Calvin Griffith, Carl and Eloise Pohlad, Tony Oliva and Kent Hrbek. All the statues were sculpted by Minnesotan Bill Mack.
What the Twins and Wolves have to hope for is ownership that is rich enough to fund a winner, and humble enough to let the experts run the show.
