I never was much of a Twins fan, but I always loved Kirby (how could you not?). I seriously almost started crying when I saw Dave Winfield (former teammate) talking about him on Sportscenter tonight :'( . I just bought a pet fish tonight and it will be named in Kirby's honor...
RIP Kirby, you will be missed...
i just found out. I always loved the way he played the game. Always with a big smile on his face.
I miss him already.
I loved the way he played the game. He absoulutly killed my Cardinals in '87. He seemed like such a great guy. I could never cringe when he made a great play against us......Kent Herbek was another story, I cursed that guy so bad that entire series.
Very sad indeed. Heard last night he was the second youngest Hall of Fame member to pass away. Lou Gehrig being #1.
unfortunately hes not the last. a lot of guys from that generation will be dying young.
rip kirby.
