Rest In Peace, Kirby

It's a sad night for baseball fans everywhere:

Kirby Puckett dies day after suffering stroke

Since I live in the Fort Myers area, where the Minnesota Twins train, I saw Kirby play in a lot of spring training games back in the 1990s. He always gave a full 100% effort all the time, and he always had a smile on his face. It was a damn shame when his career ended early due to an eye injury, but this is an even worse break. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
