14. Harmon Killebrew was my idol growing up.

Wednesday

The Twins used to spring train in Orlando and my mom would make sure we got to go to at least one game a year. Harmon would sign autographs for a long time (not Ripken long, but 30+minutes) after the game. I still have at least one. My son was lucky enough to be a ball boy for the AA Twins (Sunrays) for 8 summers. Go Twins!

I'm a converted Tampa Bay Rays fan and they have a new owner. Hope springs eternal...
