Quote:

Legendary Twins slugger Harmon Killebrew, one of Minnesota's most beloved sports figures, said Friday that he is near death from esophageal cancer and is entering hospice care.

In a statement sent through the Minnesota Twins, the 74-year-old Hall of Famer said, "It is with profound sadness that I share with you that my continued battle with esophageal cancer is coming to an end. ... I look forward to spending my final days in comfort and peace with (wife) Nita by my side."

He's one of the best sluggers ever. He deserves a chair at Terry's Baseball Greats table. All those home runs and no juice. He is incredible!

God Bless Harmon Killebrew . Growing up guys like him,Frank Howard,Willie McCovey & Willie Stargell were REAL baseball sluggers. They were all big giant men who could jack a ball a looong way,without juice.

I have a signed Killebrew ball, I believe my grandpa forked over the $20 bucks.
