The INSANE Prime of Kirby Puckett

Kirby Puckett is one of the best all around players in the history of baseball. His relentless work ethic and extraordinary talent are what drove him to success throughout his career. Not only was he an elite hitter, he was a center fielder with a cannon for an arm and incredible range thanks to his wheels. His shorter stature and stockier build never held him back from being one of the game’s best. As fantastic as he was on the ball field, he was an even better person. His infectious smile and outgoing personality made him a fan favorite in Minnesota.
