Kirby Tribute -
10-24-2006, 11:35 PM
    While cruising around a bit on youtube, trying to figure out why I can't get the media player working on the NBA site, I decided to do a quick search for a Kirby video. I was looking for a highlight vid, or something from one of the World Series trips, but came across a slideshow memorial
Thought I'd share: |

Thanks. I met Kirby a couple of years ago and he didn't look anything like the guy that used to climb the walls of the Metrodome. It's nice to see him in his prime again.

All time greatest Twins moment was right there. Kirby put the team on his back and carried us to a world series title.

He was ultimately the reason that this franchise won their 2nd championship in 4 years. Game saving leaping catch then hit a home run to win the game, it was unreal.
He is still Minnesota's hero. |

Kirby was one of a kind. Toward the end of his life, he let himself go a little. I met him shortly before he died and he looked, in a word -- Bad.
I've got the '87 WS on DVD and also highlights of the '91 series. I prefer to remember Kirby the way he looked then. |
