Bye bye Kirby

Even though you were on the 91 Twins who beat my Braves you were a class act and a great ball player.

Too bad, one of my favorite MLB'ers to watch growing up. Should of written a book, SI did a story on him a few years back exposing to the world the double life he lived for years having a wife and a mistress that he lived a family life with both without the other knowing. Also became very violent and just down right strange after leaving baseball.
