1959 Was the breakout year for young slugger Harmon Killebrew. He was one of the most highly touted rookies in decades but it took home nearly five years to finally get going, in fact, he had a total of 11 home runs in five seasons entering the 1959 campaign. Once he found his groove though, he became one of the top sluggers in baseball history and this photograph was taken early in the year when he took the leap to superstardom. Issued by the Associated Press and with a large paper caption on the back.
