Take me out to the ballgame in the sky...

[pen_grunt]

It's crazy that my very first childhood hero died today. My parents let me stay up late every night to watch the 1991 World Series. Kirby Puckett was the absolute star, and my absolute favorite. It's crazy that he was only 44. I don't think that one can be a Minnesota baseball fan and not love Kirby. He was extremely loyal to the team and to the fans (all groping aside, of course--nothing could knock him off my pedestal).

Yeah. I can't really say much more. I'm just...shocked and sad.

as is our whole family...........we were all sitting together on the couch when we found out and there was nothing but silence, and sniffling.
