Go analog, avert your gaze, listen to the Minnesota Twins

It’s been a year when the Twins have been difficult to watch. Painful, due to what has been happening on the field. And also challenging, due to the reshuffling of broadcast and streaming options. Because fandom is ideally supposed to be an enjoyable and relaxing pastime I suggest this. Don’t watch. Listen.
My experiences with Twins Radio go way back. Back indeed to the mid 1960’s when I’d listen to the games at my grandpa’s house in northern Minnesota. The signal faded in and out – I always figured sunspots were involved – and was punctuated by harsh rasps of static from thunderstorms somewhere out in North Dakota. But in my memory some things always come through clearly. The distinctive bourbon aged voice of Halsey Hall. The jaunty “We’re Gonna Win Twins” jingle.
