DAFUQ? Didn’t hear about that.
In the March 17, 2003 edition of Sports Illustrated, columnist George Dohrmann wrote an article entitled “The Rise and Fall of Kirby Puckett.” The article documented Puckett’s alleged indiscretions and contrasted his private image with the much-revered public image he had previously maintained. Specifically, the article stated that Puckett had extramarital relationships with several women and that a female Minnesota Twins employee had obtained a financial settlement following a claim that Puckett had sexually harassed her. The article added Tonya Puckett had called police on December 21, 2001, to report that Puckett had threatened to kill her.[
