Former Twin Dan Gladden enters his 19th year in the Twins radio broadcast booth, his 15th as a full-time analyst.

Gladden played in the major leagues for 11 years and retired from professional baseball following the 1994 season. He finished his career batting .270 with 203 doubles, 40 triples, 74 home runs, 446 RBI and 222 stolen bases in 1,197 games.

He made his big league debut in 1983 with the San Francisco Giants, with whom he played for three seasons, and was named to both Topps and Baseball Digest All-Rookie teams in 1984. He was acquired along with pitcher David Blakely by Minnesota in exchange for pitchers Jose Dominguez, Bryan Hickerson and Ray Velasquez on March 31, 1987 and spent five years with the Twins before signing as a free agent with Detroit in 1992. He spent his last year in professional baseball playing for the Yomiuri Giants of the Japanese Central League in 1994. From there, Gladden was a major league advance scout for the Colorado Rockies from 1996-98 and a minor league roving instructor for San Francisco in 1999.

Gladden was a key ingredient in the Twins 1987 and 1991 World Championship teams. His grand slam home run in Game 1 of the 1987 Series vs. St. Louis capped a seven-run 4th inning and he scored the game-winning run in the 10th inning in Game 7 of the 1991 Series vs. Atlanta.

Dan and wife, Janice, make their home in Eden Prairie, MN. His daughter Ashley is married to Joe Gaetti, son of Twins Hall of Famer Gary Gaetti, and lives in San Diego. Daughter Whitney currently lives in Arizona.

Pedro 'Tony' Oliva Jr., or 'Tony-O' to those who followed his 24-year career as a Twins player and coach, was a man who seemed to excel in all aspects of the game. He could hit for power and average, run, field and throw, and his versatility made him one of the most feared hitters of his day.

Tony-O collected 1,917 hits and retired with a .304 career average. He is the only player to win batting titles in his first two seasons and was the winner of three in his 15-year career, which still stands as the club's longevity mark. His prowess as a hitter was demonstrated in the fact that he led the league in hits five times, and his 220 career home runs rank fourth all-time among Twins. If not for knee problems which cut his career short, Oliva would have been a certain choice for the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Oliva, the 1964 American League Rookie of the Year, began his coaching career in 1976. He also works as a hitting instructor in the Twins minor league system and scouts for the club. He had his number 6 retired July 14, 1991 and was selected to the Twins 25th Anniversary Team in 1986 and the 40th Season Anniversary All-Time Team in 2000. He was inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame on August 12, 2000, and was named one of the "50 Greatest Twins" in 2010. In 2013, he became the eighth ever recipient of the Herb Carneal "Lifetime Achievement" Award.

This will be the Hall of Famer's 23rd full season as color commentator for the Twins. Blyleven pitched in the major leagues for 23 years, including 11 seasons for the Twins, from 1970-92. He was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on January 5, 2011 and was inducted on July 24, 2011 in Cooperstown, NY. The native of Zeist, Holland, Bert is very proud to be the first Dutch born major league player to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. He served as the pitching coach for Team Netherlands in the 2009 and 2013 World Baseball Classic.

Blyleven is one of only three major league pitchers all-time to win a major league game before his 20th birthday and after his 40th birthday (Herb Pennock and Mike Morgan). He also pitched at the major league level with Texas, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and California. He still holds the Twins club record for total strikeouts (2,035), shutouts (29) and complete games (141). In 1973, he went 20-17 with a 2.52 ERA, tossing 25 complete games in 40 starts, including nine shutouts and 325.0 innings. He posted double-digit wins in 17 different seasons. As a member of the Texas Rangers in 1977, Bert tossed a no-hitter, defeating the Angels at Anaheim Stadium.

On baseball's all-time list, Blyleven ranks fifth in strikeouts (3,701), 10th in games started (685), ninth in shutouts (60), third in complete game 1-0 wins (15), 14th in innings pitched (4,970.0), eighth in home runs allowed (430), and tied for 26th in wins (287). He was voted AL Rookie Pitcher of the Year in 1970 and AL Comeback Player of the Year in 1989. Bert pitched in two All-Star games and was a member of two Championship World Series teams (Pirates in 1979 and Twins in 1987).

Bert and his wife, Gayle, reside in Fort Myers, FL during the off-season and have six children and eight grandchildren. They are involved in helping raise funds for Parkinson's Association and other charitable organizations.

The 2018 season will be Dick Bremer's 35th season as a broadcaster for the Twins. The Minnesota native graduated from St. Cloud State University in 1978. Following his graduation he worked for three years in Cedar Rapids, IA as a sportscaster for WMT-Radio and TV (now KGAN-TV). While there, he began his play-by-play career doing University of Iowa basketball for two years.

He was named weekend sportscaster at WTCN-TV (now KARE-11) in 1981. After two years, he left to begin his Twins play-by-play career with Spectrum Sports in 1983. He remained there until 1985 while also doing Minnesota North Stars games. He rejoined the Twins broadcast team in 1987 and has remained there working for Twinsvision, Midwest Sports Channel and FS North.

In 2013, Dick was the recipient of the Silver Circle Emmy for Broadcast Excellence and inducted into the Minnesota Museum of Broadcasting Hall of Fame.
