Game 7
by Douglas DeBono, [IMAGE]2006

ARTICLE ORIGINALLY APPEARED AT StandingOrders.BlogSpot.Com, March 07, 2006

[IMAGE] Kirrrrrrrrrrrrby Puckett was how it went in the Twins glory days. Kirby was a larger than life character that carried the Minnesota Twins to two championships. From all accounts, he was an everyday guy that attained hero status. Certainly on the field he had no equals.

His game saving catch and game winning home run brought the Twins to Game 7 in 1991. It is the only World Series game I ever attended. While the seventh game that year game down to a pitchers duel, none of us would have been at the Metrodome to see a small market team win it all had it not been Kirby.

Unfortunately, like all men, he had feet of clay off the field. Those issues aside, Kirby suffered a massive and fatal stroke. He has gone on to his final game, for he stands before the ultimate umpire.

Thanks for the memories.
