Get Well Kirby Puckett

Good Morning Readers, our prayers go out to Kirby Puckett, he suffered a stroke this weekend and is in critical condition in Scottsdale Arizona. I would like to say he was a sports idol in Minnesota and is the number one clutch player in Minnesota State history. So Kirby we know your tough and you are in our thoughts and prayers.

He always gave a clutch hit or catch he was a proven leader that players and fans looked up too. He is a Minnesota icon before players started making so much money. He loved Minnesota and had many opportunties to go to a bigger market and make some more money. I like to say he was a person that was down to earth and wanted to prove his worth. He was only 5' 9'' but he has a heart 100 times the size.

So get well Kirby Puckett and I know you will get through this. You are a tough athlete and person and I know you can get through this. So if you are reading this keep him in your mind and remember all the things he did for Minnesota Sports. So Kirby we know your tough and you are in our thoughts and prayers.
