the last few years of his life were such a bummer too, his wife divorced him, he got wrapped up with sexual harrassment allegations, some woman claimed to have been his mistress for nearly a decade...at least he got the hall of fame...RIP to one inspirational fella
He was 45 actually but it doesnt matter, he was a great player. I live in Minnesota and he won the championship for us the year i was born. RIP puck...
ya dude, i think he was one of the first guys i ever learned about. i was like 4 and i had my first baseball card collection, the first pack i opened had him on top. i decided to start keeping a separate collection of strickly kirby, i think i got like 22 cards of him or something, and i still got em. RIP man
