Just saw on ESPN news that Kirby Puckett just passed away. Very sad. He was young and while he played, was a terrific symbol of what was great about the game.

I am still in shock! I knew he had a stroke Sunday. I didn't know it was so serious. He was a great player and he will be missed.
Rest in Peace Kirby. -

I'm shocked too, and very saddened. I know there was all that stuff about him in the last few years, but my memories of him are playing ball, playing hard, and looking like he was enjoying every moment. My baseball cognizance developed during the 80s, when Kirby was emerging as a star. So I strongly associate him with my youthful fascination with baseball, and for me he stood for how the game was supposed to be both played and enjoyed.Comment

RIP, Kirby. Like I said on another thread, he was one of the first players I remember seeing and for him to go prematurely is a shock.
He will be missed.SOUVENEZ-VOUS LES EXPOS!!!

Kirby was a fantastic player, both at the plate and in the field, and was a joy to watch. Condolences to his family and loved ones.

The Twins may have beat my Cards almost two decades ago, but now's not the time. Kirby Puckett was such a good person on the field, and he helped win a World Series, and now #34 is going to be honored. I wish the best of luck to his family and children...

I knew about the stroke and thought he'd live on. Listened to KSPN 710 this afternoon and I was in disbelief. Unbelievable.
