Not many ballplayers can come back from a ruptured hamstring, but in 1969 that's exactly what Harmon Killebrew did. In fact, The Killer didn't just return to the lineup, but he made 1969 the best season of his career by leading the AL in home runs, RBI and on base percentage. His return to the Twins helped take them into the post season and when the dust settled, Killebrew was the league’s Most Valuable Player. It was the crowning achievement of a 22-year career that would take Killebrew all the way to Cooperstown.
