I think the problem folks are having with your posts is simple.
A man that many of us looked-up to as children, a real-life idol has passed away . While we post anecdotes, condolences, and such, you come in here with your snarky post and attempt to convince us that he wasn’t that great. We do not care.
So you deserve, and should expect, a bit of flaming.
At least it’s not as bad as the fine posters that feel compelled to use this particular thread to have a pissing-match about hospice care, or Mr. Killebrews’ choice of religion.
Good day.
My first baseball bat was a Harmon Killebrew Louisville Slugger. I didn’t know who he was at first, but I always remembered the name because of that bat.
DIttos to all you said in your post.
