"Cheaters."
That's what Harmon Killebrew called the recently revealed Major League Baseball steroid users to a packed dinner crowd at SeaCliff Country Club last week at the KinderVision fundraiser. It was but one of many revealing, interesting moments in the evening.
You may recall reading about KinderVision in this column two weeks ago. It is the national child safety education program dedicated to the protection of children from abduction and sexual exploitation.
KinderVision plans to host an annual golf/dinner banquet in Huntington Beach, and if next year is anything like this, we're in for a treat.
I'm a huge baseball fan, so it was a bit surreal to find not one, but two, Hall of Famers here in our city: Killebrew and Rollie Fingers, the pitcher. There were many other athletes lending their time to the cause, including former Angels Bobby Grich and Clyde Wright, former Dodger Tim Leary, former Met Rod Gaspar, and John "Blue Moon" Odom from the A's. Everyone graciously signed autographs all night long.
