Minnesota Twins hall of famer Kirby Puckett near death after major stroke

[DavidMn]

I was devastated by this news. I know I love the Red Sox, but I grew up here in Minnesota watching Kirby Puckett play centerfield for the Twins. I think I probably saw over 600 games that he played in. I remember at game 6 of the 1991 world series sitting in the upper deck watching him win game 6 with a home run in the 11th inning. He is a truly wonderful man and was a fantastic ballplayer. I know not alot of you are big sports fans, but he needs all the prayers he can get. I feel like a piece of my childhood is about to die.
