Before I begin writing this blog post I need clarify the following: the text you are about to read below is not, I repeat NOT, about selling tickets or anything like that. This post is much more important than that. This post is being made to inform those that feel inclined to pay tribute to the late great Harmon Killebrew. Now then onto to the post.

For those who wish to attend, this Thursday at 7:10 pm at Target, The Harmon Killebrew Tribute will take place. According to the Twins website the event is free and open to the public. Meaning those that wish to attend may do so.

"Bud" Selig, National Baseball Hall of Famers Rod Carew and Paul Molitor, Twins legends Jim Kaat and Tony Oliva, and current Twins Michael Cuddyer and Justin Morneau.
The event will also include musical and video tributes in celebration of Killebrew's life.

Minnesota Twin Legend Harmon Killebrew Has Cancer

Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew was diagnosed this week with esophageal cancer and will undergo treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., where he has a home. It is a rare form of cancer but it definitely is one that takes a vigorous approach to overcome. Killebrew has an optimistic outlook, setting a goal to recover in time to make his trademark appearance during spring training in Fort Myers, Florida in February. Best wishes to Harmon Killebrew and we are all praying for you!
