LOVE Killebrew! I live about 20 miles from where he grew up in Payette, Idaho.
I saw a documentary on him a few years back and something he quoted his father saying has stuck with me. I have 4 young boys that all run around playing sports and wreck my house just like the Killebrews did. It drives my wife crazy. Harmon said when he grew up and he and his brothers would wreck the grass playing baseball and his mother would get upset, his dad would put his hand on his wife's shoulder and say "we're raising boys here, not grass". I bet I use some form of that quote once a week!
