Hall of Fame

Chuck Knoblauch is the newest member of the Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame. The Twins made the announcement on Friday, just a few hours before opening their annual fan festival known as TwinsFest.

Former Vikings wide receiver Cris Carter was named to the NFL Hall of Fame Saturday afternoon along with offensive linemen Jonathan Ogden and Larry Allen, coach Bill Parcells and defensive lineman Warren Sapp. Carter spent twelve of his fifteen NFL seasons with the Vikings where he amassed 1,101 catches for 13,899 yards and 130 touchdowns in 234 games...

Former Twin, Tiger and Blue Jay and St. Paul native Jack Morris was not named on enough ballots to receive induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame today.

Former Viking defensive end Chris Doleman was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Saturday in Canton, Ohio. Doleman had 150.5 sacks in his career. He played with the Vikings from 1985-1993 and again in 1999. His best season was 1989 when he had 21 sacks for the Vikings. He also played for the Falcons and 49ers in his career.

Longtime Cathedral head baseball coach Bob Karn has been selected for induction into the Minnesota Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame. The Hall honors service to amateur baseball in Minnesota. Bob's induction has probably been delayed because he is the curator of the Hall of Fame in St. Cloud and would never allow himself to be nominated.

Former Twin starting pitcher Bert Blyleven will go into the Baseball Hall of Fame today in Cooperstown, New York. Blyleven is expected to speak at 1:50pm (CT) and his 85-year old mother is expected to be in the front row. The Twins have already retired his number #28 at Target Field this season. Blyleven is 3rd all-time in major league history in strikeouts and is widely considered to have one of the best curve balls of all time.
