Harmon Killebrew


Born on today's date, Harmon Killebrew.

"My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say 'You're tearing up the grass,' 'We're not raising grass' Dad would reply, 'We're raising boys.'"

That's the one quote I remember most about the book. I even told this to my wife when my grandchildren and I were out playing ball in the back yard the other day.

Ha ha!

We have the same philosophy; and our grass looks pretty good too!
