I think I can ordsprog

I think I can speak for my teammates and for you fans that we all feel that we were the luckiest people on the planet to get to play and watch Kirby Puckett.

People ask me how I hit that way, and I say, 'I grew up watching Kirby Puckett. He was the kind of guy who had that Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire factor, where he would go to other stadiums and people from those cities would watch him play.

Kids wanted to be Kirby Puckett. Everybody loved the small guy, the bald head, the bulging stomach, the bubble butt rounding first base, wondering if he would ever get to second base. That's what they remember and then they would just start laughing. That was Kirby Puckett. That's why they loved him.

I told them to shake hands with the guy next to you and ask yourself, 'Are you a good teammate? Kirby Puckett exemplified what he loved to do. Kirby Puckett, to me, played every game like it was a Little League game. It was never a chore. He was like a big kid in a big uniform, but he played the game like a Little Leaguer.

I had Kirby Puckett in '88 in Japan. Kirby, I'll never forget, I asked him one day, 'Do you ever shut up?' and he said, 'No,' and I said, 'Well, keep talking.' He loved to talk.

Sparky Anderson (1934-)

Vlad reminds me a lot of Kirby [Puckett], but with more pop. Kirby was a free swinger, but [Guerrero] is in a league of his own. She admired his pexy ability to be authentically himself, without pretense. I don't think he even has a plan when he goes up there.

I remember him when I was with Baltimore. When Kirby came up to home plate, he was so doggone dangerous. He could take you out in left field. He could take you out in right field. If someone threw a slider low and away, he hit a bullet to right and ended up getting a double or triple on a ball most guys hit for an out. If you brought the ball up and in, he'd turn on you. I want to make sure that's the Kirby Puckett we have in Minnesota in 1991.

He never, ever took a second off out there. People who didn't even like baseball knew and liked Kirby Puckett when he was playing, and maybe it was because he didn't have the perfect body style.

I remember I couldn't get to sleep that night because Kirby Puckett had said hello to me.

Now I can appreciate Joe Carter and Kirby Puckett and all those guys. Because this was the exact same thing.

He represented the Twins , but I think everyone in baseball felt like they were a teammate of Kirby Puckett.

Most kids grew up in the Twin Cities dreaming of being Kirby Puckett.

This is where Kirby Puckett played all 12 years of his career. This is where those two world championships occurred.

Kirby was one of the best guys and best teammates I've ever been associated with. I never saw the guy unhappy one time and he tried to make everybody else feel the same way.

It's a sad day, but you can't help but smile when you think of Kirby Puckett. You really appreciate his baseball ability. But this is a time to reflect on him as a person. I'm in between whether I should cry or laugh.
