Harmon Killebrew Diagnosed With Cancer

From Harmon Killebrew’s Statement:

“I was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer.   With my wife, Nita, by my side, I have begun preparing for what is perhaps the most difficult battle of my life.   I am being treated by a team of medical professionals at the Mayo Clinic.  While my condition is very serious, I have confidence in my doctors and the medical staff and I anticipate a full recovery.”

Thoughts and prayers go out to Killebrew, but if there is anyone out there who can beat cancer, it’s the guy who crushed 573 home runs while playing for some really terrible baseball teams.

    This just breaks my heart. He has the best doctors in America working on him, so I think he’ll be fine,
