NewYorkieMa&Pa | 03-07-2006 06:45 AM | Kirby Puckett Passed On... Today is a sad day for me... I don't know how many of you are baseball fans but to Minnesota, Kirby Puckett was one of the greatest of all times. When I was a little girl I used to watch the game just for Kirby. :baseball:
During the '91 world series I stayed up late to watch the last game in the series but then I fell asleep, I believe the game was on West Coast time so it ran very late... However, I woke up just in time in the last inning to see that we won and how the crowd EXPLODED with happiness!!! :happyboun Kirby Puckett was our hero! :2hearts2: Of course there were others on the team who made it happen but he stuck out as the brightest star... :excited:
I just want to share with you all how much he meant to me as a baseball player and as a regular joe off the street. His personal life was not perfect... I just think of him only as the best Minnesota Twins player to grace our Metrodome.
May you find peace and blessings Mr. Puckett... :hug: |
