Hall of Fame Slugger Harmon Killebrew dead at 74
My baseball hero growing up, I met him and got his autograph twice, once during the 1987 World Series.

It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate

Outside of Target Field, they have bronze statues of Twins greats. Killebrew had his statue
modeled after the home run he hit in the 1965 All Star game at Met Stadium, the first home of the Twins.
This picture
captured that moment.
He had the most home runs during the '60s, and at the time of his retirement, only Babe Ruth had more home runs per at bat than Killer.

Patty Andrews, the last surviving sister, dead at 94. Unless I'm mistaken, she's the one with the short solo in the middle of this:
