Even though I alway...I can understand how you felt. Even though I always hated seeing him come up against the A's (seems like there was ALWAYS guys on base too)he was so much fun to watch. I remember the last day of the season in 1989. I was in the Oakland Coliseum watching the A's and Puck and Carney Lansford were dead even for the batting title. Every time Kirby came to bat, they would show it on the big screen. He went something like 3 for 4 and Lansford went O-fer. Puckett won the title with a .339 to Lansford's .336. <BR/>Thank You Kirby for all the great times.gopmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086912156883476611noreply@blogger.com
