Tori Hunter was a beloved member of the Twins for 11 seasons before moving on to play for the California Angels and Detroit Tigers. So, in his first appearance back as a Twin at Target Field during the Twins 2015 Home Opener Monday, who introduced him?

That'd be longtime Twins stadium announcer, Bob Casey, who passed away back in 2005. Tori grew to be friends with Casey, whom he said showed a genuine interest in the young outfielder when he first broke into the major leagues. So, somebody found a recording of Casey introducing Tori, and it was played before yesterday's game, in tribute to Mr. Casey. As someone who makes a living with their voice, I always enjoyed Bob Casey's announcing style, as well. I remember one game versus the Yankees around 12 years ago, when Casey said, after finishing the standard 'No smoking in the Metrodome' announcement, "...But you CAN smoke the Yankees!" He was one of a kind. Check it out...
