I grew up in Minnesota and saw 35 home games a year and all the playoff and world series games. My point here is he was (is) one of the best ever to play the game of baseball! He gave alot to baseball and fans of the game. How can anyone argue that he was not hall of fame material!

To me what was so sad is how he let himself go after baseball. he had to be carrying 50 pounds extra weight! That will kill anyone. Kent Hrbek said that Kirby would for breakfast eat hamburgers! That alone says he did not care about what he was doing to himself.

Puckett will always be missed. I guess the dome was full for the ceramony at the dome!! That says alot about Puckett.

RIP....
