I remember Harmon when I was a kid. He was a slugger for the Twins. As far back as I can recall, "Killer" was a first baseman and wore number 3 on his jersey.
Born in 1936, he was signed by the Washington Senators in 1954 at 17 years of age. He was in the major leagues for 22 years and was named an American League All-Star 13 times. He was a 6 time American League home run leader. And, in 1984, he was named to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He passed away on May 17th, 2011.
And, he was a nice guy.
Thanks Harmon. In a world short of good roll models, you were a standout to millions of young boys.
