MINNEAPOLIS — Harmon Killebrew, the affable, big-swinging Hall of Famer whose tape-measure home runs made him the cornerstone of the Minnesota Twins, died Tuesday at his home in Scottsdale, Ariz., after battling esophageal cancer. He was 74.

The Twins said Killebrew passed away peacefully with his wife, Nita, and their family at his side. He announced his diagnosis just six months ago and last week Killebrew said doctors had deemed the “awful disease” incurable.

ECAA sends its condolences to the Killebrew family, the Minnesota Twins, baseball fans everywhere and to the population at large of people affected by Esophageal Cancer — victims, survivors, patients, caregivers, family and friends.
