  • Another Mudcat Grant story

    Accompanied on guitar by Ric Oliva (Tony Oliva's son), 75yo Mudcat beautifully sang Harm's favorite song. The Memorial took place in Minneapolis, at Target ...


    Who knew that Mudcat could sing?
    This is "It's a Wonderful World" from the Harmon Killebrew memorial service at Target Field.

    You won't cry - if you are one of the undead.

    This one has Killebrew's Hall of Fame speech, plus Rod Carew's memorial words:

    The Memorial took place in Minneapolis, at Target Field; home of the Minnesota Twins.


    Harmon said he and his brother used to tear up the front yard playing baseball in a small town in Idaho, and when his mom objected, his father would say, "We're not raising grass - we're raising boys."

    Awesome.

    Carew's speech is quite moving, as well.

    Farewell to a class act.
