There probably isn't a Lakers franchise without Sid Hartman, who helped bring them to Minneapolis and was a GM during the glory days. AND...had an 80-year newspaper career.

A Minnesota legend and one of the most unique media/sports lives in the country's history. He had a byline in today's newspaper, 100 years old.

And here's a fun story about Sid with another Minnesota legend, Prince.
