RIP Harmon Killebrew – He connected me to my favorite team and favorite number
I never saw Harmon play in person, but as a life long die-hard Twins fan, you certainly know all about him. In particular, from a young age, I knew that he was something way more than an incredible baseball legend. He was almost more known for being a humble and kind human being to others. This is rare, especially now-a-days.
Mauer close encounter
A few weeks ago we had the Minnesota Twins annual Winter Caravan stop through Northfield. At work, we’re a broadcast affiliate and get a visit each year. We were surprised when we learned that this years tour included MVP super-star homeboy Joe Mauer! They went right to the middle school auditorium where 750 screaming fans were waiting. After a Q&A session they stopped back at the KYMN studios for an interview. Fox Sports North was also trailing them for a live webcast.
What an incredible experience for a life long Twins fan. I sat with Joe as he recorded some radio liners. I asked if I could take a pic with him (below). He’s a very humble and nice guy. Just like everyone said.
