Kirby Puck Passes Away From Stroke

Kirby Puckett, who suffered a stroke Sunday morning and underwent neurosurgery later in the day, died today at age 45*. Last rites had been administered earlier in the day. Puckett passed later in the afternoon. The former Minnestota Twins Hall of Famer is survived by 2 children.

Puckett played the game with tremendous enthusiasm and hustle. He was well respected, loved, and admired by both his teammates and opponents.




* Research by the MLB Hall of Fame found that Puckett was actually born in 1960, not 1961.
