Yesterday a number of Twins greats gathered at Target Field to remember Harmon Killebrew. He passed away Tuesday at the age of 74 after battling esophageal cancer for 6 months.

Another person who knew Harmon Killebrew for many years is Clark Griffith. He is the son of former Twins owner Calvin Griffith and was an executive with the team for many years. He spoke with MPR's Cathy Wurzer about what Harmon meant to fans, teammates, and the Twins franchise.
