Harmon Killebrew ill
Learned yesterday that Mr. Killebrew ill with cancer. Hope he gets beyond this disease. Has been 35 years since he was in baseball.
I was young then, but I am sure I saw him on some televised baseball game.

Hate to break it to you, but that news became public over a week ago.

There's some rough treatments ahead. Best of luck to Brew and his crew.

My favorite player, and the focus of my collecting - my thoughts are with him, hoping for the best.
Not only was he an amazing home-run hitter and all-around nice guy, he also hosted a Twins pre-game show on Minnesota television for 12 seasons while he was an active player (beginning when he was only in his mid-20s). He then moved to the broadcast booth for another 12 upon retirement (mostly with Minnesota, but for a few years with Oakland). He's seemed like part of the family to a lot of Minnesotans for nearly 50 years. |

I'm a very big fan of Harmon. I have more of his cards than any other player by a long shot. I've exchanged a few emails with him around donating to a charity for his granddaughter. I'd meant to send my '55 Topps RC to him for a signature and now he's no longer signing.
I hate to hear this as he's one of the true gentlemen of baseball. |
