Minnesota’s professional baseball team said it removed a statue of its former owner on Friday, citing remarks he made over 40 years ago.

Calvin Griffith’s statue was placed at Target Field when it opened in 2010 because he formerly owned the team and was responsible for moving the Twins to the state in 1961.
