ENTHUSIASM, KIRBED: Kirby Puckett has died.

The affable Minnesota Twins Hall-of-Famer, whose career was cut short by glaucoma at the age of 34, looked to be emerging from a dark personal period, which involved a nasty divorce and some ugly incidents with women, when he suffered a massive stroke over the weekend. He was 45.

I'm sure it will be replayed over and over on SportsCenter tonight, but if you can't wait, MLB.com has video of Game 6 of the 1991 World Series, which ended, of course with Puckett's 11th inning home run off Charlie Liebrandt to force Game 7 (the Jack Morris masterpiece) here.
