Remembering Kirby Puckett

I've said this before, but it seems only fitting now: Kirby Puckett's home run to win Game 6 of the 1991 World Series was perhaps the most dramatic home run in World Series history. It certainly had a greater impact than Kirk Gibson's game-winning homer in Game 1 of the 1988 Series, which everyone touts more.

Puckett's home run kept the Minnesota Twins alive and sent them to Game 7, which they ultimately won. Gibson's home run locked up the opening game of the '88 Series.

Thanks for the memories, Kirby!
