personal
heros
|
|
my
dad, who always encouraged me to do my best (and expected it) and
had more integrity than anyone else I know
Harmon
Killebrew - not only was he baseball's MVP, but he was gracious
and kind to me as a child and had lots of integrity ... he talked/s
to children as if they're people and still is involved with baseball
