    Killer was born in Payette, Idaho; played for low profile franchise; was average looking and stocky; didn't drink or chase women or enjoy a high profile lifestyle; lived in Ontario, Oregon and regularly lead his league in an offensive category.
    Gilbert was from Montreal, lived in Manhattan, was small in stature and while he was a productive player was never the potential dangerous game changer that Killebrew was, game in and game out.
    Both played on very good teams that might have won multiple championships but couldn't win the BIG game. Both became respected ambassadors for their sport.
    When I was a kid growing up in the 60s I remember thinking that these guys couldn't be more different.
