I hadn't mentioned anything about this yet because I wasn't sure how many people here knew of him, but as a Minnesota girl this guy was my idol growing up. I remember both World Series that he helped win for Minnesota. I had a friend who even named her dog "Kirby" It was devistating to hear of this news the other day. We have suffered a great loss here in MN. Rest in peace Kirby Puckett, you were one of the really great ones.
