On Oct. 26,1991 Kirby made THE CATCH and the HOMERUN to send it to game 7. A night to never forget in MN Twins history.

It also created a family memory for my brothers and I. Keith and I bowhunting in sw Mn. both shot bucks on evening stand his being a nice 8 pointer and mine a basket 9pt. When I did get home the next day I called my brother Jim and told him I had a nice one and he said so did I, I told him about the bucks we had shot and he told me he released a 30 inch walleye on Gull lake on the same day. I did get to share this story with Kirby at the NW Sportshow years later. A day I will not forget ! RIP!! KIRRRRBY Puckett!!!

Dude could play but he was a horseshot off the field.

he was a great player, and glad to see a guy come from the streets to make it to the big leagues. Great player for the twins

I remember that play like it was yesterday. What a fun time in Twins history.

[Gary Crichton]

To bad is off field antics were not the best. There was a lot of places inside the dome where he was a bad bad boy so to speak. Not to mention Restrooms in niteclubs.

But the guy could play baseball for sure. Always a leader of the game.

Perhaps could've flirted with 4,000 hits?

Kirby was a great Twin. Memories forever.

9/10ths of ALL pro athletes have skeletons in their closets. Kirby's was more public and it is a shame. He was one of the most loved players in MLB by both the fans, and more importantly the other players loved him to death. That is saying alot.
