MLB world lost another gem on February 3rd. Having won uncountable accolades for scouting in his thirty-five-year career in MLB, the Minnesota Twins’ legendary figure, Mike Radcliff, breathed last after fighting a rigorous battle with pancreatic cancer. Till the end, he fought hard but lost to the virulent disease. He served as a scouting director for the MLB team Minnesota Twins.

Having quickly risen through the organization after joining the Twins in 1987, Radcliff’s voice became one of the most respected in the clubhouse. And now, his family and the Twins are mourning the loss of the ‘heart and soul’ of the scouting department for over thirty years. 

How are the fans coping with the loss of a great person?

Despite knowing that it is a law of nature, losing someone hurts every time. Radcliff worked for the Twins for over three decades. During this time, he garnered the love and respect of every single person in the organization. He never had the loudest voice. But when he spoke, people in the clubhouse listened.

Losing him at only 66 has left a hole in the hearts of the whole franchise. Following are some of the reactions of baseball fans over Twitter. 

While sharing their stories of Radcliff with the world, baseball fans on Twitter are sending their condolences to his family. He may have left for his heavenly abode, but he won’t be leaving the Minnesota Twins family anytime soon. 

The late icon brought the best to the Minnesota Twins

In the year 2001, the Twins had the number one pick from the draft. Even while facing a huge deal of criticism, Radcliff went ahead and brought Joe Mauer to the team. Mauer used to remind him of the iconic Ted Williams, but he didn’t tell that to him for a long time so as not to put too much pressure on the newbie.

Aside from Mauer, Radcliff also selected a huge number of fan favorites. They were Jacque Jones, Michael Cuddyer, Justin Morneau, the currently active player, Byron Buxton, and many others. 

In this tough time, we urge you to pray for the Radcliff family!
