Paul Moliter is in the Hall of Fame as a player, but he's entering a new world as manager of the Minnesota Twins.

Molitor has been retired since 1998 and has spent the time as a roving instructor in Minnesota's minor league system, one year as a hitting coach with the Seattle Mariners and last year as an assistant on Ron Gardenhire's staff with the Twins.

He is the 63rd Hall of Fame player to become a manager.

"I will never forget that the game is very, very difficult," Molitor said. "And I don't expect players to do things exactly the way I did. Our coaches won't do the same. We're going to try to get these guys to improve. For me, frustration because guys don't get it? Tell them again. Help them again. Support them again. Encourage them again. Stay after it."
