The icon of Minnesota sports reporting celebrates a birthday today.
Living legend Sid Hartman turns 93.
As blogger David Shama writes on the GopherHole.com: “In this town many of the sports reporters are in their 20s, 30s and 40s. Only a few are in their 60s and nobody approaches Hartman’s age. At 93 he could be the great grandfather of reporters he competes against.”
Along with our best wishes, here’s a sampling of the love for Sid from around the twitterverse, who is today’s sports hero:
Today in Hist.: Ceasar's Ides of March (44 BCE), First US Cardinal named (1875), Sid Hartman born (1920), First internet domain name (1985)

Happy Birthday to the one and only Sid Hartman. No 93. Today, he'll be in the office writing his Sunday column.
