Kirby Puckett has gone to that great Applebee's ladies room in the sky
Some of Kirby's most notable highlights:
-Career batting average of 0.318
-Led Minnesota Twins to World Series victories in 1987 and 1991
-Retired in 1995 on account of his glaucoma
-Inducted into Cooperstown in the 2001 class of Hall-of-Famers
-Decades-long mistress wrote a tell-all book that ruined his marriage with his wife Tonya, who accused him of physical and emotional abuse in addition to unrepentant philandering
-Allegedly sexually assaulted woman in family restaurant women's bathroom in a suburb of Minneapolis. When questioned, Puckett called it a misunderstanding. He attributed this "misunderstanding" to the apple martinis he and the alleged gropee had imbibed prior to the incident.
The loss of Kirby Puckett at the young age of 45 is truly a great tragedy, and I only hope it's not an omen of terrible things to come for ex-Minnesota Twins. So long as Gary Gaetti is healthy and well, I'm not going to worry. RIP, Kirby. I'm sure there's some flat Midwestern ass waiting to be groped on the other side of the pearly gates.
