    Sad Killebrew to Enter Hospice

    Apparently, Harmon's cancer was worse than we first hoped it was. Harmon will enter hospice care to live out the remainder of his life.

    As one who has had the pleasure of meeting and talking to this man, I will say that he is one of the most decent men I've ever met.
    You lived your life well, Harmon.

    Yeah a great Twins player for sure. Just think if he played today. I say he would be one of the top paid players in the game. I wish he would have decided to fight this. But cancer is no fun.

    Hopefully his last days are peaceful, surrounded by friends and family! One of the most underrated players in baseball history. Look at how much black ink the Killer has.

    Too bad here. We lost a great Minnesota Twin! The cancer was too far along. At least he was at home with family around him. killebrew will be missed by all. He has to be the greatest Twins player of all time along side with another great ballplayer in Kirby Puckett.

    Really sad news for a guy that I heard was one of the nicest players in the game despite his nickname Killer. R.I.P. Harmon.
