Thats terrible. He helped the Twins to their only real success before the salaries started to rise.

There I can say something nice.

rip kirby

i lived in minnesota at the peak of his career. my dad rode on a plane with him and got his autograph for me. he said that kirby was extremely nice, and wasnt bothered/annoyed at all.

i wish more athletes could be like him.

I remember crying after the 91 series too when the Twins won... Farewell to a great ball player from a Braves fan.

As a Braves fan, I was never a Puckett supporter, but he did make the most of his ability and was an all around great baseball player/person. Hate to see a guy like him pass away so soon...

In game 6 of the 91 series, I remember Puckett predicting a win against Atlanta. The Twins were down 3 games to 2. Pucket makes a catch off the wall and then homers to win the game. They went on to win the series in 7. I forgot who the pitcher was for the Twins that night, but didn't he go all 10 innings against Smoltz? 1 - 0 I believe the final was. I still cry. If it weren't for Kirby, the Braves would have 2 rings in the 14 straight division titles.

RIP Kirby. He had some ungodly amount of hits in his 10+ seasons. Wonder what could've happened.

^ Jack Morris was the pitcher in Game 7. If it wasn't for Lonnie Smith not knowing how to run the damn bases, then Game 7 would have never gone to extras. But that is a moot point and Kirby's finest hour was definitely Game 6.

Yep, or Kent Hrbek pulling Ron Gant off of first and tagging him out. Lonnie Smith's error was erased by Sid Bream's baserunnign skills in Game 7 of the NLCS the year after I still smile at that one.

But yes, Game 6 was all Kirby. That was an amazing individual performance.

Kirby was a great player, and a classy one at that. They dont make 'em like that much anymore.

Yeah he really was. He was one of the few that I could see playing baseball if the pay were $20,000 a year.
