Baseball Icon Harmon Killebrew says ‘Farewell’
One of baseball’s great power hitters is close to death. Before the era of steroids, there were 5 great retired HR hitters: Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Henry Aaron, Frank Robinson, and Harmon Killebrew. Now the man known as “The Killer” is about to lose his battle with cancer.
He was a humble star and a major figure in my youth as his Minnesota Twins battled my Boston Red Sox in a showdown at the end of the 1967 season. The Sox prevailed, but the Killer always loomed large.
Go peacefully, Harmon Killebrew
