One of the greats when it REALLY WAS A GAME!
He would fit in good in a remake of Field of Dreams.
Over the years, I have been blessed to meet and talk with several childhood “heroes.” Murcer, Ripken, Jr., Puckett,Brock, Gibson, Colavito, Yasztremski, Throneberry,Spahn, and Killebrew.
All had that special intangible quality of being comfortable in their own skin. They are/were humble. They are/were always putting the spotlight on others.
I met Killer when on a business trip when my shuttle driver (who shared the same last name) was surprised when I asked if he was related. He insisted that instead of the hotel, he take me to meet his Uncle Harm. I hated to leave that meeting. Special memories.
We are all fortunate to have such role models as he was. No complaining, just dealing with what he was dealt.

I used to go and watch the Senators and the Orioles back in the 60’s...watching Harmon walk to the plate would always bring forth butterflies in the pit of your stomach if you were a fan of the home team...especially with runners on base.
