In Memory of Kirby Puckett 1960-2006

I wanted to post my condoloences to the family of Kirby Puckett, the State of Minnesota, and the entire Minnesota Twins organization, players, and its fans on the sad and untimely passing of Kirby Puckett. I was never a Twins fan, but I remember watching him when I was young, and admired the talent he brought every day. Learning more about him as he was able to get out of the projects of South Chicago and was able to become a hero for an entire state, is an inspiration in the true word. Everyday, I live with the belief nothing is impossible with God. Kirby Puckett lived true to this belief, as his trademark smile and body is what fans will remember forever. Kirby Puckett, was able to become a true hero, one for an entire state. In this day of big money, Kirby Puckett was a true hall of famer by playing all his career with one team. Not too many sports stars do this today. When an athlete who wants more money keeps on bickering, he should take the time to look at what Kirby Puckett has done. Kirby Puckett defined excellence on and off the field. I know these days will be rough for the Twins and their fans, but the best way they need to do to get over this is to just play in his memory and play on emotion. My prayers go out to the Puckett Family, The State of Minnesota, and the Twins organization, its players, coaches, staff, and fans in this time of need. Kirby, thank you for making baseball great, and being an inspiration to the lives of all people. May the power of the holy spirit, let Kirby Puckett #34 rest in peace.
