This is a very sad day in Minnesota for all sports fans.
MINNEAPOLIS — Hall of Fame broadcaster Herb Carneal, whose smooth baritone narrated Minnesota Twins games for the past 45 seasons, died this morning of congestive heart failure, the team announced.
Carneal, 83, was part of the club's radio play-by-play team for all but the first year of the team's existence in Minnesota.
"Herb Carneal's voice was the signature element of Twins baseball for multiple generations of fans," said club president Dave St. Peter, a longtime friend of Carneal's. "Clearly, he was one of the most beloved figures in Minnesota sports history."
