Kirby Puckett Tribute - Mariah Carey "Hero"

kirby is proof there is some guys have class and don't sign with the yankees because they offer the most money. Thanks kirby for staying away from new york!

he did gain a ton of weight after he had to retire but he didn't do a "ton" of stupid stuff. I don't want to cause a "youtube feud" with you but I thought I should set you straight. That technicality aside, I agree with your comment.

Just put it this way, I'm an Atlanta Braves fan. But, I surely c can say that without Kirby Puckett, The Minnesota Twins would never have beat the Braves in '91. I know. I was there. Puckett was amazing!

HEY I KNOW THIS IS A TRIBUTE TO A GREAT PLAYER n everything but WHY WE GETTIN UPSET AND SENSITIVE?!, people just statin their opinions and FACTS, during his last years and afer he was done playing HE DID make mistakes, and he DID gain mad weight and didnt take care of himself, THAS A FACT, which sadly lead to THIS!, that is not talkin shit about him , or disrespecting him, IS just sayin the TRUTH! , damn.. still that dont take away from his hero like superstar status that he was !. So chil

i miss u kirby:(

i remember i wanted to be at his tribute thing after he died but i live bout an hour and so south of the cities. they were sayin a blizzard was coming so i decided not to go.

I remember the blizzard. After the Puckett Tribute at the dome my brother and I drove back to Rochester, then drove to Canada. Total whiteout.

He gained a ton of weight after he was done playing?????????? The guy was a class act, here in Texas he would come ou the Hotel and sign any and all autograph requests, even if 60 kids surrounded him he would sign anything and everthing they wanted, unlike fat Hrbek, who would comment rudely to folks, even elderly.

Thanks for the positive comments and ratings!

and he was acquitted of the stupid things that were alleged. I will agree he got depressed, lost his marriage, and so on. Its a shame, he could have played a few more years....he really could have helped when we started being successful in the early 2000's..or even as a coach. RIP Kirby
