Another example of bad things happening to good people:

Hall of Famer and Twins legend Harmon Killebrew has been diagnosed with esophageal cancer.

Killebrew, 74, revealed the news in a statement on Thursday morning. He said that he was recently diagnosed and is being treated by a team of medical professionals at the Mayo Clinic.

While acknowledging that his condition is very serious, Killebrew said that he has confidence in his doctors and medical staff.

"I anticipate a full recovery," Killebrew said in the statement.

"Harmon Killebrew is a great man," the Twins said in a statement on Thursday morning. "The collective heart of the Twins family goes out to him and Nita as they begin the battle against this cancer. Harmon is universally loved, and our thoughts and prayers are with him and Nita throughout this ordeal. We ask that everyone send prayers Harmon's way as he begins the road to recovery."

Killebrew said that he and his wife thank everyone for their outpouring of prayers and concern, and they have asked for privacy during this time.

Not good news for Killer. Hope he battles well and makes a full recovery.

Also this probably belongs in the baseball forum, not basketball...
