The radio voice of the Minnesota Twins will
step back from the microphone Wednesday, ending a 25-year run.


      John Gordon has called Twins games for listeners throughout the
Upper Midwest since his first year with the team in 1987, when
Minnesota won the first of two championships. Wednesday night's
game will be his last.


      Gordon says after 25 years with the Twins and 43 years in
professional baseball, that's enough balls and strikes. Gordon is
ready to see what's outside the circle of baseball and spend more
time with his family, golf and travel.


      The Detroit native began his broadcasting career in 1965 after
graduating from Indiana University and called games for the
Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees among other teams before
coming to Minnesota.
