When I saw the Twins, he was their best player. I actually agree with you from a hstorical perspective. I think Harmon Killebrew was better. 331650@blogcritics.org Wed, 8 Mar 2006 18:09:14 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/03/07/045854.php#comment-331621 I liked Kirby so much, I was willing to forgive him (almost immediately) for destroying my beloved Tigers in five games back in 1987 (the last year the Tigers were any good). RIP, Kirby... 331621@blogcritics.org Wed, 8 Mar 2006 17:16:41 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/03/07/045854.php#comment-331207 Kirby Puckett was a great ballplayer and a fine human being. However, when I think of "The Greatest Twin," the first guy that comes to mind is Harmon Killebrew. But that's just me... 331207@blogcritics.org Tue, 7 Mar 2006 22:00:49 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/03/07/045854.php#comment-330989 Game saving catch in Game 6. That's my lasting Kirby moment. Him in a Toledo Mud Hen jersey is definitely a top-four moment, though. 330989@blogcritics.org Tue, 7 Mar 2006 13:26:26 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/03/07/045854.php#comment-330968 i love the twins and i love kirby. come on! even his name was cute. kirby puckett. the only thing that wasn't cute about him was his talent, which was amazing. every twins fan around the world, and every baseball fan, owes kirby a big thanks for making it a better game. 330968@blogcritics.org Tue, 7 Mar 2006 12:42:52 EST
