Carew in 1967 won the A.L. Rookie of the Year Award. In 1977, as a result of a campaign that saw him hit .388 with 14 homers and 100 RBI, Carew earned A.L. MVP honors, a batting title and All-Star selection. That same year he was also honored with the Roberto Clemente Award, recognizing his contributions in the community as well as on the baseball diamond.
In 2016, the A.L. officially changed the title of its annual batting title to the Rod Carew American League batting title. Both Minnesota and the Angels have retired Carew’s jersey #29 and he is a member of both clubs’ Hall of Fames. Carew was a finalist for the MLB’s All-Century team and, in 1999, The Sporting News ranked him as one of the 100 Greatest Baseball Players in baseball history. After his playing days, Carew worked with the Angels as a hitting coach.
