- Lyman Bostock had the best season of his tragically short career in 1977. Most of his totals would have led the team (or even the league) in most years, but this was Rod Carew's huge season. Bostock got a few MVP votes, but he was overshadowed by Carew.
- Bostock left the Twins as a free agent after the season and signed with the California Angels.
