Puckett's image has taken a hit in recent years, but may he have a speedy recovery.

I will never forget Puckett's heroics in the World Series in 1991.

[RynoHawk]

I will never forget that either. A great call by Jack Buck also. Hope Kirby gets better.

Despite the latter unpleasant revelations of Kirby's life, I hope for nothing but the best. My prayers are with him and his family.

After my parents divorce my dad moved to Minnesota. According to him Kirby Puckett is an icon in the Twin Cities like Ernie Banks is here in Chicago.

I like your avatar. I remember seeing that vid on AMFHV. Do you have a link the the video? I think that's my favorite AMFHV ever! Specially Bob Saget's voice over.

Get well soon Kirby. Depending on the damage, it could be a long hard recovery. We will pray for you.

Yahoo is reporting he's in critical condition.

 

That means he's in really bad shape and near death, right?

[sweetpeteman]

He also played for Bradley...

[Abe Frohman]

I heard the critical report also. Bleeding in the brain. This is not good, folks. Prayers going up for Kirby.

Possibly, but not necessarily. With some major problems (such as heart attacks and strokes) there is a critical period (24-48 hours sticks in my mind) that, if the patient makes it through, has a good chance of recovery. I don't know if that's the case here or not.

[Rusch33]

I heard they just took him off life support.

 

So looks like the Twins just lost a legend.

Are you seriously calling him a hero?

 

Perspective?

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

He gawn.

 

Reguardless of what you thought of the man, that may be the tackiest thing that's ever been posted on this board.

As a Royal fan (I am true Cub fan, but I also like the Royals, since they are close to my hometown), you still gotta respect class. And he is considered a hero in many Twins fans, no matter what.

my gosh :(
