Gardinier Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 That's why I hate hospitals. Very few times does a trauma case make it. Some do but very very few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, you'd rather see people left on the street and/or that they have a better chance OUSIDE of a hospital? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 He seemed like a truely nice guy...RIP Kirby 619621[/snapback] I know a lot of negative stuff came out about him a few years ago, but he was an easy guy to root for. For such a big guy, he was a great fielder, and a very good hitter. It seems like guys who do both are becoming a rarity these days... I will admitt, I am not the biggest baseball fan anymore, but Kirby was in his prime when my enjoyment of baseball was at its' highest (early 90's). He was a blast to watch. I still remember how he carried the Twins on his back for those two championships... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 was there ever any rumours of steroid use?? 619608[/snapback] I guess when someone younger passes away from a stroke (especially in this steriod age) that kinda of thought enters your mind. But did you ever see Kirby Puckett? He wasn't exactly a phyiscal specimen. He was a little round guy who got the most out of his abilities. He was a great player who I believe had a very difficult upbringing. It's so sad because he had a roung last couple of years. First, he has to retire because he goes blind in one eye and then he gets falsely accused of sexual harassment. I hope he is finally at peace.
