Heaven Just Got a New Centerfielder

The game of baseball lost a great one today as Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett passed away on Monday after suffering a massive stroke on Sunday morning.

A sad day for baseball, indeed.

Puckett was just 44 years old.

My favorite memory of Puckett, and there are many to choose from, was his game-winning HR off Charlie Liebrandt in the 11th inning of game 6 in the 1991 World Series. I still remember Jack Buck's call of "We'll see you tomorrow night" as the ball cleared the fence.

We'll miss you, Kirby.
