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!

Harmon was my favorite player as well. Without a doubt the classiest player I have ever met. I actually got to know him back in the early 80's. A couple of times he sent me a letter wishing me luck in the upcoming sports season. He would always let me send him whatever I wanted him to sign in the mail and he would sign it and send it right back. I am looking forward to seeing the different Killebrew items that people have. Here are a couple of items to get it started.

Thats a cool banner and pin, I dont think Ive seen those. Thats a perfect song, reminds me of growing up in MN; only we had an Olds lol.
Heres the pix. The bat has some wear and dings but it was stored in a barrel in a basement for 30 years. I got it in 91 I think from a guy that bought out all of the stock from the store. I mentioned Harmon when we were randomly talking baseball and he said he had something for me.
The chair came when I met Dick and we started talking memorabilia, he had the most incredible collection I've seen, it took me about 3 months to be able to afford it in 89-90. It should be somewhere so people can enjoy it, I should see if the Target Field folks would like to use it for some time.
