May God be with him and his loved ones.
God bless you, Kirby. Thanks for giving me some great World Series moments.
Sic the kitties on him..
It's sad he died so young, but he sure was homely.
well then go someplace else
Thank you.
So sad...
He does play any sports...
Remember the presser after game 6 when they were talking to Jack Morris about getting the ball in game 7?
Asked what he was feeling, Jack said.."In the words of the late, great, Marvin Gaye.....Let's Get It On."
I would much rather acomplish something in life that matters >
He did accomplish something in life. What have you ever done that would be even close to what Kirby accomplished? Other than your accomplishment in spelling.</p>
I'll never forget his home run in Game 6 of the 1991 World Series (IMO the greatest WS ever played) and Jack Buck only needing to say "we'll see you tomorrow night".
RIP.
darespeakit is gone.
Thank God.
God Bless you Kirby.
Out.
RIP AND GOD BLESS YOU KIRBY...YOU WERE INDEED THE MAN.
The crowd kept watching the replay on the big screen making sure it went over the wall each time.
Rest in peace, Kirby.
Wow. Great player, and I remember watching him play in the 80's. Not sure about personal things, but great player all the same.
One of the youngest inductees to the Hall of Fame.

Watching the 1987 World series with my 2 year old daughter is something I will chersih forever. What a great time we had, her in her little #34 jersey.
God gave us a good man when He made Kirby Puckett. Now he is back home with his Maker. Thanks for the memories, and may God bless and keep him close.
