Unfortunately personal problems in recent years diminished the fabulous player and personality that he was.
RIP, Puck.

Kirby died too young. This reminds me of Tony Conigliaro, who also had eye problems after getting hit in the face by Jack Hamilton in 1967. Tony C died in 1990 at the age of 45 after lingering in a coma for 8 years after suffering a heart attack.
Tony C was my favorite Red Sox player when I was a kid.

Unfortunately personal problems in recent years diminished the fabulous player and personality that he was. Bullspit it has. If Puckett had personal problems, I ain't heard of them.
The guy was truly a class act.

We have a scout in the county I live in, that found Kirby and made a recommendation to the Twins. This scout is around 90 years old and has 2 World Series rings thanks to his ability to pick out future big leaguers, thanks to the Twins congealing as champions, and thanks to Kirby's talent. He also scouted Bill Madlock and made a recommendation to the front office 'in the bigs' to pick him up. The scout's name is 'Brownie,' if anybody is curious.
As a right hander, Kirby had a career batting average of .318. The last right hander with as good an average was this fella named Joe Dimaggio.

an observation:
...isn't it funny how stories or comments that start out with "I read, or I heard......"
are always deminshed by one that starts out with " I remember....."
may he rest in peace

"Kirby Puckett's going to be all right. Don't worry about me. I'll show up, and I'll have a smile on my face. The only thing I won't have is this uniform on. But you guys can have the memories of what I did when I did have it on."
