That is sad! When I was doing card shows in Portland, Oregon in the 80's, one show was with Harmon Killebrew. I took my middle son with me to the show and he got to get a ball autographed by him and they chatted about high school sports for 15 minutes and then he came and meet each dealer and we talked for a little while and he was the best person that ever was at a sports show I did. My son still has the ball and collects Harmon Killebrew cards. He is such a great man and will be sorely missed.

Great player. For a power hitter he was pretty small at only 6 feet. My mom was a hospice nurse before she retired. I just hope he can get some piece and feel comfortable for the rest of his life.
