Kirby Puckett sadly passed away at the young age of 44. He was one of the greats whose career was cut short by glaucoma and now dead from a stroke. The '91 World Series is one of the classics of all time. He will be missed.

Even though I was never a Twins fan, RIP Kirby.

   

I saw him play many times and he was certainly a crowd favourite. Those stout legs sure could motor around the bags and I think some of the fielders thought they'd run into him with his BIG wide turns at first and second.
RIP Kirby
