#3 - Harmon Killebrew (Hall of Fame)

Harmon Killebrew wore number 3 with a quiet power that made him one of the most feared hitters in American League history. He slugged 573 home runs as a Twin and drove in 1,584 runs, numbers that still inspire awe decades later. The Killer was a cornerstone of the franchise from its earliest days in Minnesota, and his place in Cooperstown is as well-earned as the retired number hanging in his honor at Target Field.
