Harmon Killebrew is always a class act. I rememebr back in 1987 I had him sign a wirephoto of him and Cal Emer, the Twins manager at the time. He asked if I would be interested selling it to him since he didn't have any pics of him and Emer together. I said no, and kept the picture for myself. When I sold off my collection, I kept this one photo to him if he was ever at a show near me.

He finally appeared in SF again 1992. I waited in line and gave him the picture. He asked if wanted a signed ball or anything for it. I said no, the memories of your playing days are enough. And the guy actually started to tear up. We chatted for a bit and the other peole there were amazed that would just give something to a player.
