Statue to memorialize Sid Hartman
(October 8, 2010) Expect a few of Sid Hartman's close personal friends — and maybe a few "geniuses" — to gather when a bronze statue of the veteran sports columnist and radio personality is unveiled Wednesday in downtown Minneapolis.
The slightly larger-than-life statue of Hartman was commissioned to celebrate his 90th birthday. It depicts Hartman with a Star Tribune tucked under his arm and holding a WCCO Radio microphone and an oversized tape recorder. The statue will be placed next to Target Center before the opening of the Twins-Yankees playoff series at Target Field. Hartman has worked for Minneapolis newspapers for more than six decades and joined WCCO-AM in 1955. The north Minneapolis native is known for his "close personal friends" like Bob Knight and Lou Holtz, and for calling people who disagree with him "geniuses." Read more at
