Farewell to the "Killer"

[WWGjohn]

I was saddened to hear of the passing of HOFer Harmon Killebrew today. He was a true gentleman and one of our great ambassadors for baseball. I was fortunate enough to meet him at a card show many years ago and, although I do not collect autographs, could not resist having him sign an old Dell Baseball magazine. We also chatted for a few minutes and I asked him what he thought about the caliber of pitching at that time compared to his playing days. His reply was "If I could run I'd still be playing today.", and laughed heartily. Truly a class act.
