Kirby Puckett: 1960-2006
Kirby Puckett: 1960-2006
Kirby Puckett died today at the age of 45. I wrote yesterday that he had a stroke in Arizona, and he spent his last day of his life in a hospital undergoing surgery. I'll miss him, but at least I know he's in the Hall. seeing all these highlights of him in 1991 brings back so many memories. I remember pretending to be like him in Little League, running up that chain link fence catching imaginary fly balls in center field. He was a great player, and like many great players, he had his problems off the field, but who doesn't? No one's perfect, and no one expected Kirby to be. May he rest in peace.
