The Minnesota Twins and their fans love Kirby Puckett to this day. He was the total package of a player that performed on the field and was also able to capture your heart off of it with his infectious smile and personality. A combination we haven’t come close to seeing in a Twins uniform until maybe this season with the continued breakout of Eddie Rosario.
Memories of Puckett drifted back to my mind this week amidst the controversy surrounding the first pitch thrown by Jose Urena of the Miami Marlins Wednesday, August 15th.
