Sad day for baseball. Best wishes to his family.

 

He was a great, great player and a good person.

 

I really respect the way he decided to go out. He accepted there was nothing left medical science could do for him and chose to spend his final days at home with his family.

That sucks.

 

 

RIP Harmon.

I would also like to state for the record what an awesome name this man has. It just sounds like a man born to kick ass.

Minnesota really has no living sports heroes anymore. I guess Fran Tarkenton is the closest we've got still living, Killer and Puckett are both gone now. Really sad day, RIP Killer.

I really wanted to make a Brett Favre joke here, but out of my respect for Harmon Killebrew, I'll save it for another thread.

I saw him play. He was a superstar in his day. I always feared him at the plate. For a big man, he was quite versatile in the field, playing third and first very adequately. A funny story about him was in an All Star he made this tremendous stretch to catch an infield throw to first. He did a full balls on the ground split. It was very impressive until he toppled over with a torn groin. At that point, many people were chuckling.
