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.

He said 1960 was his first bat and he could tell by the label that it was a 1960, anyone with more info I would be happy to hear either way. The end of the bat has a 4 as well

Killebrew signed and signed at our 2009 Nashville Old Timers banquet when he was guest speaker. Wonderful man, told great stories, was approachable and very cordial. He told how he practiced his signature so it was legible and felt that players who scribbled should do the same. Killer was awesome!

So, you never made the trade for a gamer?

No it never happened but if he wanted it more than a gamer it means that much more. He loved it as much as I do.
