I remember a double header at the Stadium in ‘61. Mick and Rog were going for Ruth’s record and the Twins were in. It rained baseballs all day long, due to the usual suspects, including Killebrew and Allison.

Killebrew was a great ball player, and the memories I have of him are all good. God Speed, Harmon. Mick and Rog, and a whole bunch of the guys are waiting for you to take your ups.

Killebrew put up some whopping numbers in a long and productive 22 year major league career.
While nowhere near a .300 hitter, he drew a ton of walks and wound up with an impressive career on base percentage of .376, which is way above average. His lifetime slugging pct is over .500 and cranked 573 homeruns and over 1500 RBIs.

Twice he had an OPS (on base plus slug pct, now considered the most telling offensive stat) over 1.000 for a season, which is rarefied air.
