Talk:The Blogosphere Remembers Puckett/@comment-170.35.224.64-20060307121637

I keep reading all of his stats. They are definitely Hall of Fame numbers even though his career was cut short, but every time I see them I can help but think that one is missing: Lives Affected(1). I’m sure Kirby would’ve been happy to hear my story. And I’m sure it’s foolish of me to think that I was the only person whose life was impacted by Kirby Puckett but that’s how I feel. He was MY favorite player. Nobody else’s. Now he’s gone from this earth, but he’ll still be tearing down the first base line, hustling to get that ball near the wall and getting ready to jump on home plate in my mind.
