I've got a signed Harmon Killebrew baseball sitting on my desk at work. I wasn't alive to see his career as it happened, but he sure meant a great deal to the Twins organization and Twins fans in general.  Always a bit funny that such a kind and decent man was nicknamed "Killer."

I was in Minneapolis several years ago.  Among the other places we visited was the Mall of America’s (the largest shopping mall in the country).  It was built on the site of Metropolitan Stadium - the original home of the Minnesota Twins.  The coolest thing in the mall (a largely forgettable facility) - a red seat hanging on the wall well above the stores.  It was a seat that was struck by a Killebrew HR (well over 500+ feet from home plate).
