Former pitcher Brad Radke and former minor-league and scouting director George Brophy have been elected to the Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame, the team announced today.
Both will be inducted during a ceremony before the July 11 Twins-Chicago White Sox game at the Metrodome. Radke, a right-hander, played his entire major league career for the Twins (1995-2006), compiling a 148-139 record with a 4.22 ERA. He was the Twins' Opening Day starter nine times and a 1998 all-star.
Brophy started in the team's front office when the franchise first came to Minnesota in 1961. He became vice president in 1970 and stayed in that position until health issues forced him to retire in 1985, according to the Twins. Brophy died in 1998 at age 72 from complications stemming from aplastic anemia, the Twins said.
