How often have you heard a Minnesota Twins fan ask another, who is that old guy with that huge mustache and the cowboy hat in the Twins dugout? Well, today you are going to find out all about Mr. Wayne Hattaway.

Baseball has always had its “characters”, that is one of the reasons that I love baseball. Some of baseball characters have been good players, some have been just mediocre players and some have not played the game at all but somehow they were drawn to the game that is known as the national pastime.

We have over 3 1/2 hours of fun listening for you as Wayne Hattaway tells you about his life in baseball, the players, managers and coaches and ownership. The Big Fella tells it like it is and you may agree or disagree with him but it makes for some fun listening. Wayne is getting up there in age and sometimes his memory fails him but who among us can’t say we don’t have the same issue. Enjoy the interviews and if you have any Big Fella stories that you would like to share, please leave them in the comments or get in touch with me.
