R.I.P. Kirby Puckett who died after a stroke yesterday in Phoenix.
No matter who you supported Kirby was one of those players you liked, the smile, the 5 by 5 frame. As shown by Ken Arneson, an A’s fan, over at Catfish Stew.
Of course there was also the post career downside to it.
But then there’s the name, became a classic piece of Toxic rhyming slang when anything goes wrong and I didn’t want to shout ahhh fuckit !!.
