Default "Killer"

Hollywood,

You picked a great one to collect. Killebrew was not only a great player, but arguably even a better person. Looking forward to viewing your pickups.

Thanks for the posts, everyone. I unfortunately am too young to have seen Killebrew play in person, but have heard nothing but good things about him

Here is another reason to admire Killebrew that is relevant to collectors. I think this echos what others have said about him. Good, quick read.

I did know this bit. There's a good number of Twins players past and present that would tell you Killebrew sat them down and taught them how to sign properly. Awesome story
