Eloise Pohlad dies in 2003, Bob Casey in 2005, Puckett in 2006, now Carl in 2009; This team can't take too much more lose to it's core.
I wasn't a big fan of Carl's since he tried selling the team in 97 that would have moved them to North Carolina, but I have always been a Twins Fan. He will be missed. You know that this upcoming season will be dedicated to him, as will opening day at the new park.
