Kirbyyyyyyyyyyy Pucket
Today is an extremely sad day. Kirby was by far my favorite sports figure in any sport ever!! I drove from Willmar to the dome on many occasion and sat in the outfield so I could see him play. And who could forget the greatest introduction of all time "And batting 3rd your center fielder KIRBYYYYYYYYYYYYYY PUCKET". Only Bob Casey, another Twins legend could pull it off. The crowd would go nuts. No other hitter since then has received that kind of ovation every time they step to the plate. Since the time Kirby retired there's been a void in every Twins fans heart. The World Series in '87 was one of the greatest moments in Minnesota history only to be out done by the '91 series. We'll miss you Kirby.

I'm with you on this subject. Minnesota was very blessed to have someone who stayed with us and brought us all to the field. Even people that didn't watch sports knew the name Kirby Pucket. Our world has lost another great person. He loved us all the little and the small people on the earth. His charity for the people that needed help will be missed for even. We should all pray for his family. Thanks for the memories!
His death is the first celebrity/athlete/famous person's death that has actually made me pause to remember their passing. Enough said.
