WOW....I knew his stroke was pretty serious, but this was really sudden....

Kirby....MVP, World Series Champion, Hall of Famers and a true class act. You will be missed, but certainly never forgotten.

 

[Neutron]

Wow.... He was only 44. That's a shame.

He was a class act player. May Kirby Puckett rest in peace.

lets just say the class act part is debateable.

hey boston just read the article, yeah, really good baseball player.

really debatable human being.

Im just a bitter Sox fan who was spurned by Puckett in the past

As for judging him I dont. I just dont want to keep hearing what a great guy he was as if it were fact.

Good Ballplayer? Yes
Did he deserve to be a first ballot HOF inductee? I don't think so.
Good person? Not for me to decide

I will always remember him for his fantastic game 6 of the 1991 World Series against my Braves.

R.I.P. Kirby

RIP Kirby....

 

[Mr Tony]

its pretty sad that Kirby died. Being a lifelong Minnesotan, there were very few people who didnt like Kirby. As they said on the news last night, he was someone that everyone loved regardless of color. I still remember seeing him make those over the fence catches and seeing the catch in Game 6 of the 91 WS still gives me chills.

The spooky part is I was at his last game when he got hit with a Dennis Martinez pitch.

RIP Kirby...You will be missed.
