Kirby Puckett died last night, at the age of 45. He had a massive stroke, because he was nauseatingly fat. The Hall of Famer had a cadre of ass-kissers that followed him during his career; lest we forget, he was a horrible person away from the game.From the SI expose on Kirby Puckett, written by Frank DeFord in 2003:
"Puckett’s ex-wife, Tonya, divorced him in December, barely a year after she told police that he threatened to kill her during a telephone conversation. Over the years, she told SI, Puckett had also tried to strangle her with an electrical cord, locked her in the basement and used a power saw to cut through a door after she had locked herself in a room. Once, she said, he even put a cocked gun to her head while she was holding their young daughter."

maybe she deserved it?
just playing - just think, if Castro could have hit the long ball, the Bay of Pigs would never have happened.
...and it would have been renamed the Bay of Pucketts.
