Today's game could use a few more professional personalities and players like Mr. Killebrew. I wish him the best.

Killer was one of my favorite sluggers from the 60's. This is really sad news...

Living almost my whole life in the Twin Cities "Killer" was always a constant in the Twins family. I wish him the best.

Just read that he is giving up the fight and choosing to live his remaining days in hospice care. So sad.

Met him several years back at Rich Altman's store for a private signing. Guy was nothing but a true gentleman and class act. God Bless him and his family!

My Washington teams didn't have much when I was a kid, finishing last every year, but we had Roy Sievers and Harmon Killebrew. Great players with the character to match. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Killebrew.

Harmon Killebrew was one of the nicest ballplayers I met while covering baseball. I asked him one time, "What's the hardest you've ever hit a baseball... not the longest... but the absolute hardest?" He thought for a little bit and said, "Well, we were playing the White Sox in the mid-60s at their place and I absolutely crushed a ball. It hit one of those big steel girders just beyond the leftfield fence... and rolled nearly all the way back to the shortstop position. I can't hit a ball any harder than that." Harmon is a class act.

Killer was my hero when I was a kid growing up in Minnesota. Typical of one of the most kind and considerate men in or out of uniform, Harmon said last night he was more worried about the Twins current state of affairs than his own health. He is one in a million and I am very sad about his current state of health. The Twins? Dedicated the game to Killer and then laid an egg and were shut out. They are almost on pace to catch the 62 Mets as worst team ever. How does GM Bill Smith still have a job?

Sorry about the double post, I am so mad at the incompetent Smith I slammed the submit reply button twice.

Though not a Twins fan I have had the opportunity to meet Mr. Killebrew on several occasions over the last 20 years. I concur with all of those who have posted before me, easily the nicest ballplayer or ex-ballplayer I have ever met and had the chance to visit with.
