Tony Oliva was my favorite player as a kid; what a talent! ... and along with Billy Williams ... one helluva sweet swing.

It was great to be in the Cities last summer and attend a game when it was the modern era all-time Twins team. Before the game, along the concourse under the stands, they had a booth for each former Twin to sit while the fans lined up for a personal photo with each. Harmon Killebrew was the finest gentleman present; Kirby was so energetic/friendly and it became contagious; it was a great time for the fans and I was lucky to be there.
