Kirby Puckett - after the game

Photo by Jerry Holt, StarTribune

In this photo of a picture taken Jan. 13, 2006, Puckett is in Arizona with his puppy, Payton, named after Puckett’s hero, Chicago Bears great Walter Payton. Both Payton and Puckett wore No. 34.

The StarTribune has posted the first of a four-part series on Kirby Puckett’s life after he was forced to retire from baseball. The first post is very good. I hope the rest will be.
