No. 1 is not one of the Twins' nine retired uniform numbers - 3: Harmon Killebrew, 6: Tony Oliva, 7: Joe Mauer, 10: Tom Kelly, 14: Kent Hrbek, 28: Bert Blyleven, 29: Rod Carew, 34: Kirby Puckett and 42: Jackie Robinson - but 26-year-old utility player Nick Gordon does wear it for the Twins currently.
