Been a serious Twin fan since the 69 season and have lived far away from Minny since 1970 and survived on listening to radio broadcasts throughout all that time. Too bad WCCO quit on the Twins and Vikings. So I think I have plenty of comparative listening experience. FWIW, Gladden is very refreshing. He tells it like it is instead of conforming to the "Gosh, I'm just happy to be a paid cheerleader for the Organization!" I like Cory, the new guy because he paints the picture I can't see. John Gordon and Carneal were NOT good. They just didn't fully inform and were nothing more than paid cheerleaders. Jack Morris is a fantastic broadcaster because he is Gladden times two. Love his honesty. You can fell the disgust in Morris' voice when the Twins are not performing professionally. Dig it. I still play fast pitch baseball and can tell you that Gladden and Morris really understand the game precisely because they are ballplayers and it really comes across in their verbal descriptions. John Gordon and Herb Carneal were nice guys but they simply would not criticize Twins players -- and fans deserve to hear the negatives about the Twins! Damn, I miss Halsey Hall. He was hilarious.
