Harmon Killebrew, the home run hitting hero of the Minnesota Twins, died today at age 74.

Killebrew was a POWER hitter that was peerless; besides hitting LOTS of them, he'd hit the ball a mile! (I may be mistaken but I think Killebrew hit more home runs in the '60s than anyone else).

Harmon was suffering from cancer and announced it to the public at the end of last year. He made a public announcement a few days ago that he was giving up the treatment, realizing that the end was near.

R.I.P. Harmon Killebrew
