The Wash Post has a good obit in today's paper: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/harmon-killebrew-hall-of-fame-baseball-slugger-dies-at-74/2011/05/17/AFf9jA6G_story.html
Great writeup. I wonder what happens when you google Shirley Povich of the Washing Post. What a classic sports writer.
I spent time in DC at RFK (What a Dung heap)watching the Senators, but that was a different team. As a Dodger fan I enamored with them because at that time they had another slugger of Dodger fame... Frank Howard. He was similar in stature to the Killer not quite as prolithic.

One of the greats. My first HB bat had his signature.
RIP
