12. Idaho: Harmon Killebrew (Payette)
Discovered by a U.S. Senator while playing semi-pro baseball in his home state of Idaho, Killebrew was quickly signed by the Washington Senators. Nicknamed “The Killer,” he became one of the most feared right-handed power hitters in Major League Baseball history. He mashed 573 career home runs, was named an 11-time All-Star, won the 1969 American League MVP, and became the ultimate franchise icon for the Minnesota Twins.
