Looking Back: Twins Draft Kirby Puckett
Nine of twelve replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I've been visiting this site for several years but just recently decided to start posting under this user name. Kirby is and will probably always be my favorite baseball player. Like most of us, I do not condone some of the things he did off the field, especially after he left the game, but I also will say that few of us would be able to gracefully handle what he went through. It's such a shame that things happened the way they did. All it would have taken for his life to have turned out differently is a routine eye exam sometime in January of 1996. His glaucoma would have been diagnosed and treated and he would not have suffered the sudden loss of vision in his right eye.
