Otsego resident Jim Erickson knew that sports broadcasting would be his career path when he was 10 years old.
Like Minnesotans in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Erickson idolized Minnesota Twins radio play-by-play man Herb Carneal, Minnesota North Stars TV voice Al Shaver and Bob Kurtz, who was the TV play-by-play voice of the Twins and eventually became the radio play-by-play voice of the Minnesota Wild.
