Harmon Killebrew quote

A few years ago, I was reading an issue of Modern Reformation magazine on the importance of fathers in the lives of children, and saw the following quote from baseball legend, and fellow Idahoan, Harmon Killebrew:

“My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass"; "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys."

While my baseball memorabilia collection has shrunk considerably over the years, one of my prized possessions is still the ball he personalized for me. Thanks "Killer" for the ball, and the great reminder of importance of fathers in the lives of their children. May us men renew our interests this Father's Day.
