Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew died Tuesday at his Scottsdale, Arizona home after battling esophageal cancer, reports ESPN.com. He was 74. Killebrew was diagnosed with the cancer six months ago.

February 13, 2011 I am a huge football and baseball fan, I always realize just how much this time of year (when football ends and I'm waiting for a new season of baseball to begin). Where to turn to get my sports fix has been the question I have yet to answer. March Madness helps but basketball doesn't give me the same joy.
December 6, 2010 Let's hear it for the girls....a really nice article from my friend Jodi Hausen at The Chronicle. It's a reminder to do things in life worth remembering.
