Nearly three years after his death, Harmon Killebrew is still being remembered.
“No individual has ever meant more to the Minnesota Twins organization and millions of fans across Twins Territory than Harmon Killebrew,” Twins team president Dave St. Peter said following Killebrew’s death in May 2011. “Harmon will long be remembered as one of the most prolific home run hitters in the history of the game and the leader of a group of players who helped lay the foundation for the long-term success of the Twins franchise and Major League Baseball in the Upper Midwest.”
Seems now, there’s a group hoping the legend of the slugger can extend beyond the Twin Cities.
A movement has begun to have the US Postal Service issue a stamp honoring late Hall of Fame Twin Harmon Killebrew.

Should Killebrew end up on a postage stamp, he, obviously, wouldn’t be the first baseball player. The slugger would join the more than thirty that have already been immortalized since Jackie Robinson became the first in 1982.
