Kirby Puckett, RIP

His performance in the 1987 World Series lives in memory, exemplifying why it is that sports fan love sports.

His career and his life were both tragically short, but what he did in the time he was given was wonderful.

I will always remember him jumping up against the left centerfield fence to pull in a deep fly in 1991, then homering to win Game 6.

Rest in peace, Kirby.
