kirby puckett, r.i.p.

Hall of Famer and Chicago native Kirby Puckett, who helped the Twins win World Series championships in 1987 and 1991, has died, one day after suffering a stroke. Short and stocky, he always seemed to radiate with energy. His career was cut short from glaucoma, now his life was cut short by a stroke. Goodbye, Mr. Puckett, and thanks for making the game that much more fun to watch.
