I knew he was dropping to 90 games this season, but I wish the best too him.

Show your Gordo's (if yah have any).

I've been a Twins fan all my life, and all I can say is that it's about time. Gordo has a great radio voice, but sucks at calling games. My favorite is "Fly ball, way way back....and...caught in short center." Or when he mistook Torii Hunter for Michael Cuddyer. I've also gone listening to a game for 37 minutes before he said the score. He had a great career, but I think it's time to move on.

Yeah... but I LOVE his voice... I used to turn the car radio on as far up as it would go, and work outside (or play catch with my dad) while listening to him. I agree, he is getting a wee bit old, but still cool!

He is also a cool guy in person. Always willing to sign an autograph. I actually have 4 (I might have lost one).

2 Pocket Schedules (missing one)
1 synthetic leather baseball (Inscribed "Touch 'Em All!)
1 OMLB (most recent addition)


I just have to have him sign a copy of Little Big League (and I need Griffey to sign it too, but Gordon's sig has to be bigger and in a liquid gold sharpie)
