On Puckett, I have to say the homer in Game 6 of the world series, staying with the Twins his whole career is admirable that said. I dont know what kind of year the 82 Twins had but I thikn Ripken while he had a great rookie year was helped by the fact that the Orioles nearly made the ACLS, kinda like how MVP isnt always the best player in his league but the one who helps his team get where they are the most. Its a shame about Puckett really, second youngest guy to die after he was inducted in to the hall, I wish his career had bene longer and bene there when the twins got back in the playoffs in the late 90s and early 00s, he'll be missed.

But the '87 series was pretty exciting too! We'd never done it before.
