The owner of the Minnesota Twins, billionaire Carl Pohlad, has died. The article gives all the details. Pohlad rightly took a lot of crap for his stewardship of the Twins, including offering them up for contraction a few years ago (that's right, Twins fans...it's not all Bud Selig's fault) and attempting to sell them to people who would move them. But, he eventually got things to a point where there is a new Twins stadium being built (with a lot of help from Hennepin County taxpayers). It is too bad he won't see it come to fruition.
It's been a tough slog for the Twins in the past few years, losing Bob Casey and Kirby Puckett. Now, it's Carl Pohlad.
RIP, Carl.
