At this point, Kirby is listed as being in critical condition as he recovers from surgery to drain pooled blood from his brain. He's tough and I know he'll battle through this!"I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it." - Sandy Koufax.

My condolences to Puckett and his family.
Definately one of the best players of our time!"After my fourth season I asked for $43,000 and General Manager Ed Barrow told me, 'Young man, do you realize Lou Gehrig, a 16-year-man, is playing for only $44,000?' I said, Mr. Barrow, there is only one answer to that - Mr. Gehrig is terribly underpaid."- Yankees outfielder Joe DiMaggioComment

My prayers are with Kirby's family, friends, former teammates, and everyone who knew him in the Twin's organization. I'm very sad about this . . ."I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it." - Sandy Koufax.

I do not visit this section of the forum often, but I wanted to take the time to say my thoughts are with the entire Twins family, Puck was a lifelong Twin. Which might not happen too often anymore with the angle this business has went.
Sorry for the loss.BELIEVEComment
