Image via WikipediaI grew up watching Harmon Killebrew hit high and long homeruns. When he hit it, there war no doubt it was going out. In all, he hit 573 homeruns and was a hall of famer. He was a tremendous ball player. But ever more tremendous was Harmon Killebrew the man. He was gracious, kind, and a true gentleman no matter what the circumstance. He was loved by many. If you haven't heard, Harmon has entered hospice care in his losing battle against cancer. My prayer is that he will make it through next weekend when the Twins are in town so that they can go and visit him. Harmon has been a valley resident for many years. Although it wasn't out here in Arizona, but I have had the opportunity to meet and chat with Harmon on three or four occasions and he couldn't have been nicer. I did have him autography and 1974 Twins yearbook with himself and Tony Olivia on the cover. In fact I did get both of them to sign it. It was my most favorite baseball collectable item. Problem is, somehow, it got lost. Not in the move down here but in the move from my Saxony Circle home to my Kessler Court home in Chaska. Perhaps it was stolen, I just don't know what happened to it. In any event, join me in prayers for Harmon, one of the few great heroes left.
