RIP Kirby Puckett, 1960-2006

I was always a big Kirby Puckett fan. The Minnesota Twin Hall of Famer was a joy to watch roam the outfield and hitting home runs. How many highlight reels did he make climbing over the wall in the Metrodome to take away a home run? A lot more than I can count. He also hit huge regular season and World Series home runs and was the heart and soul of two Twin World Series winners. With that wrecking ball body of his he was inspiration to short guys everywhere. But the thing I will remember most about Kirby was that he did everything with a smile on his face. I don't think anybody ever had more fun playing baseball than he did.
