To our boy, Harmon

Harmon Killebrew was a great American.

Harmon Clayton Killebrew was born 29 June, 1936. He died 17 May, 2011. He was an American professional baseball first baseman, third baseman, and left fielder. During a 22-year baseball career, he played for the Washington Senators, a team which later became the Minnesota Twins, and Kansas City Royals. When he retired, he was second only to Babe Ruth in American League (AL) home runs and was the AL career leader in home runs by a right-handed batter (since broken by Alex Rodriguez). He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984.

Something tells me that Harmon enjoyed a libation every now and again. He was made famous in our circle of friends by toasting to "Harmon!" over an ice cold beverage. His passing was sad, and some of my favorite boys toasted to the great ball player. I wanted to share the homage that was sent via pic message between them.

To Harmon.
