Project 365: #90 - Swinging for the Cheap Seats

I thought it only appropriate that on the eve of the home opener at Target Field I take a photo of one of the greats. Harmon Killebrew is arguably, but not really, the greatest player in Twins history and I absolutely love the placement of his statue on Target Plaza. He is posed midswing where you can almost see the trajectory of the implied baseball. It seems to be aiming right at Capella Tower. It just tells the story of what an amazingly powerful hitter he was. Legend says if Capella Tower had stood in its current location that Harmon would have cleared it from home. Even if it's not, it should be. I just really like the angle and depth of this shot. Get ready because tomorrow the current Twins are home again to start the 2011 summer in Minnesota!
