Baseball fans are mourning his passing today and remembering "Killer" at the plate, wearing No. 3 on his back. A slugger whose home runs evoked that other basher who wore the same uniform number, Babe Ruth.

Being a red sox fan there wasn't much to enjoy growing up in the 60s & 70s, so stats were always important and fun. I will always remember how Harmon was routinely the leader in homers and rbi's. The epitome of power hitter.
ReplyDeleteWell you did have 1975 and Lynn and Rice and company to follow. My Brewers didn't make the playoffs til the '80s.
ReplyDeleteTrue...it was more the importance of stats to a child in the days of "the game of the week" prior to fantasy leagues, espn and the web.
