Today is a sad day. It's a sad day for baseball, for America, and for me. Kirby Puckett, Minnesota Twins great, died yesterday, one day after having a stroke. The reason this is so striking, is that when I was growing up, one of the things I remember so vividly is watching the Twins playin the world series with my dad. I still have The Twin's Homer Hankie from '87. My dad let me stay up late just to see the Twins play, and Kirby was our favorite player. In fact, my dad's Golden Retriever is named Kirby, in honor of Puckett.
He will be missed.
