Harmon Killebrew has been diagnosed with esophageal cancer, the Hall of Famer announced Thursday. Killebrew, 74, released a statement through the Twins and the Hall of Fame saying he has begun treatment at the Mayo Clinic.
"While my condition is very serious, I have confidence in my doctors and the medical staff and I anticipate a full recovery," the statement read in part.
Killebrew had a 22-year major league career and played all but his final season with the same franchise. He broke in with the Washington Senators in 1954 as an 18-year-old and had established himself as a regular by the time the franchise moved to Minnesota for the 1961 season.
