Buddy I’m 35 with a mortgage and a real job. Zero recollection of a championship in my lifetime.

You want to be a Twins fan you got to be in it for the long haul

I grew in St. Louis Park very close to Halsey's house. One frigid morning I watched as he came out in just a sports coat to give a neighbor a jump start. Great guy and quite theatrical in his own way. If I'm not mistaken (I may be) his folks were thespians. He could lapse into some magnificent coughing jags at times and Carneal, ever the southern gentleman, would graciously help him through them. The "lighting his coat on fire with a cigar" is an incident worth checking out if you are unaware of it.  

If I am not mistaken, he actually did broadcasting for the Washington Senators prior to the team moving to Minnesota. My grandfather would sit by his transistor radio and listen to Hall and Carneal. Something many don't know...Hall was the one that first coined the phrase " Holy Cow"...not Harry Carey.

I looked it up, and Catcher Jerry Zimmerman's quote was really funny.  So was this Hamm's beer commercial with Ray Scott and Halsey, once voted an "honorary bartender of the month".  After watching the commercial, I don't think Halsey ever poured a beer in his life!
