Sports>RIP Harmon Killebrew

One of the greatest natural power hitters in the game passes away today. He is revered here in MN, and was as nice and genuine of a person as he was a good ballplayer. I'm too young to have seen him play in person, but I have vague recollections of him calling Twins games when I was a kid. Baseball needs more players with the class that he always showed.

RIP Killer. :-)

RIP Mr Killebrew. He was one of the great ones.
When I was a kid 9-10 years old playing half-ball I would always call I was Harmon Killebrew.

Had the great fortune of being able to see him play, and get his autograph when I was a kid. What a great guy, and certainly very well respected here in MN. R.I.P. Mr. Killebrew.
