A milestone Tuesday night when the Timberwolves take on the Grizzlies in Memphis.
It will be broadcast number 1,000 for Timberwolves radio announcer Alan Horton.
He's been calling games for the Wolves since 2007, and he's been doing it alone.
Horton does not work with a color analyst on games broadcast, which have been on WCCO since 2011.
By then, the call had gone viral and Horton at that time said he's gotten more comments on that outburst than for anything else since joining the Wolves.
Horton, who has called only one playoff series for the Timberwolves, also called Lynx games for seven years.
You can hear Alan call the Wolves-Grizzlies game beginning with Tuesday's pregame show at 6:30 p.m. on WCCO.
A graduate of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, Horton came to the Twin Cities after spending the 2006-07 season with the Seattle SuperSonics and Storm.He spent the previous nine years in Southern California as a sports broadcaster on both radio and television.
His play-by-play experience included the San Diego Padres; San Diego State University football, baseball, and basketball; as well as high school football, basketball, volleyball, and water polo.Horton was also the executive producer of the San Diego Chargers Radio Network for six seasons, and he was a national talk show host on the Fox Sports Radio Network in Los Angeles.
