By Wikipedia

Herb Carneal  is a Major League Baseball announcer. Since 1962 he has been the lead play-by-play voice of Minnesota Twins radio broadcasts. His monotone voice and laid-back demeanor have become well-loved by Twins fans. His enduring nickname is "The Voice of the Twins."

Carneal first broadcast major league games for the Philadelphia Athletics and Philadelphia Phillies in 1954. From 1957 to 1961 he was employed by the Baltimore Orioles.

Since 2002, Carneal has scaled back his work commitment to providing play-by-play for one-half of Twins home games only. As of 2004 Carneal worked in partnership with fellow radio commentators John Gordon, Dan Gladden, and Jack Morris.

Carneal received the Ford C. Frick Award from the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996, and was inducted into the Pavek Museum of Broadcasting's Hall of Fame in 2004.

Share Your Memories!

Our sites have always been by you and about you. If you check our TV Forums or our Technology & Science forums, you'll find literally thousands of messages from fans of 1970s TV shows, survivors of hurricanes or aircraft accidents, etc. from all over the world sharing their memories, asking questions, making comments. Our baseball section is new, but don't let that stop you from sharing your memories of the first game you went to, your favorite player, a now-forgotten stadium, etc. Of course you can also ask questions, post trivia, tell the world what you think of Barry Bonds, or just read what others are saying.
