Dear USPS Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee,
As an American and fan of baseball, our country's national pastime, I'm signing this petition to fully endorse the honoring of the late Harmon Killebrew, Hall of Famer and Minnesota Twins great, with a commemorative U.S. Postal stamp. Harmon was revered on and off the field as a true gentleman and ambassador of the game. His sportsmanship and athletic prowess embodied the greatest elements of baseball and the American story, rising from humble roots to inspire generations of fans and ball players alike.
Harmon passed away in 2011, leaving behind a legacy of power hitting, civic engagement and humility that continues to serve as the gold standard for athlete role models today. His fans stretch far beyond Minnesota, his native Idaho, his adopted Arizona and Washington, DC, where his baseball career began. As an inspiring icon of our country's most iconic sport, I believe that Harmon Killebrew deserves to be commemorated with a U.S. Postal stamp.
Yours Truly,
_____

We are approaching the one hundred signature mark which serves as the threshold for my initial outreach to the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee. Please prioritize circulating this link through your professional networks to ensure we reach that target before I submit the formal proposal packet.

Watched him play at the Met since I was a kid. He was the greatest twin ever. About time he gets a stamp.
The man hit bombs like nobody else. Class act all the way.
HARMON KILLEBREW IS A LEGEND. HE WAS SO NICE TO MY DAD AT THE BALLPARK ONE TIME. PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
Long overdue. Put him on a stamp already.
He really deserves it. So many players today dont have half the class Harmon had.
Harmon Deserves This Small Recognition. and Maybe Tony Oliva as well

Not only was Harmon a Hall of Fame Baseball Player but he was a Hall of Fame person. His Nickname "Killer" was the polar opposite of his personality and his respect for others. Harmon owned one of the most legible and simple signatures in baseball. His penmanship was taught towards other Major League and Minnesota Twins players. Lastly, Harmon donated a great amount of his time and money towards charities. More specifically towards hospice care. After diagnosed with esophageal cancer, arguably one of the worst types, Killebrew spent his remaining days with his wife Nina by his side in hospice care.
