More Puckett Stuff

If you're in the Twin Cities area (hell, add outstate Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois to that) and haven't heard already, there's going to be a public memorial for Puck on Sunday at 7 pm at the Dome. Doors open at 6, and I almost guarantee that they are going to have to set up monitors outside because of the spill-over.

There's a few decent articles out there with fan & professional reaction.

This AP article has stories from Cal Ripken Jr, Randy Johnson, Don Mattingley, Ozzie Guillen, and Steve Finley.

ESPN Deportes interviewed David Ortiz, the former Twin, current Red Sox MVP candidate, who got into baseball because of Kirby.

A quick picture of Kevin Garnett's shoes from last night's Wolves game, and also an interview with him about the passing of Kirby, who he considered like a brother.

Another article from the Twins website with, oh, about 20 quotes, from Torii Hunter and Brad Radke to Joe Torre and Tony LaRussa.

Finally, here's a video from WCCO.com with images from the ever-growing makeshift memorial at the Dome. I really wish I had a digital cam, because I really want to walk over there after work (it's only about a 10 minute walk from my office) to snap some pictures for you all. But, for now, this is what I have.
