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.

RIP....met him at a Upper Deck Heroes of BB show in Louisville and he was very cordial. 573 home runs was quite a feat.......

Sorry to hear he passed away. He was a great ballplayer and a decent man. And he had that great name. You could never forget it.

By far the nicest current or former ballplayer I ever met.
Sad day indeed!
