1960s.  Men like Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, Frank Robinson, and Brooks Robinson had their accomplishments recited and their stories told.  I still remember the title of the chapter on Brock, then the all-time steals king: “Every Walk’s a Two Bagger.” When I got the book, I was already familiar with most of the names it heralded.  But I was still young and there were a few strangers staring back at me from the pages.  One of them had an ominous name: Harmon Killebrew.
