The Dark Truth Behind Kirby Puckett's Legacy

The Dark Truth Behind Kirby Puckett's Legacy
If you were ever asked to make a list of the most loved MLB stars, you’d probably go for names like Joe DiMaggio, Ken Griffey Jr, and the legendary Babe Ruth, right?
But then, when it comes to players who enjoyed raw and undiluted love, one name that comes to mind is Hall of Famer, Kirby Puckett - and any true baseball fan from the 80s and 90s would agree in a heartbeat.
Puckett had it all, the fame and the perfect legacy. But then, everything went up in smoke when his dark secrets surfaced. And just like that, this hero had his cape torn down and he was branded a villain overnight.
So how did it all unfold? How did a beloved star get involved in one of the most brutal falls from grace ever? And what did it make of his legacy?

He could be my centerfielder anytime RIP Kirby thanks for the memories. ⚾️

[@Blubbs]

I don't think we are just gonna think about Kirby Puckett's career when talking about the greatest people to ever play.

[@cam_-fn6cx]

Unbelievable what could of been a career if it weren't for the sudden Glaucoma. I still put him up with the All time greats for MN Twins players. Not too sure about all that other off-field stuff, didnt seem too serious.
Rip Puck, forever dearly missed.

[@HollyKost]

1st I'd like to thank Dennis Martinez for his throwing accuracy.

[@tedharrington5432]

When that information came out, I truly did not believe it, I was I truly disappointed.

[@BBUYTTV]

@@tedharrington5432 I was shocked as well. It seemed so out of character

[@user-hv6sb3kg9g]

Only ruined by those who see these guys as role models. They have their own lives away from the field and can love how they want. Where I draw the line is if it's affecting your play on the field. Morally do I agree? NO but we all struggle somewhere morally but if you perform on the field it's none of my business. Tell your children too to stop admiring these men and women just how they play or how they use and display their skills and entertain you. HOWEVER, your children shouldn't need to look past your dinner table to see a hero or someone to admire personally. 🙏🏽 R.I.P. Kirby LEGEND 🫡

[@davidroberts7282]

I take it your logic doesn't apply to O.J. Simpson, possibly Marvin Harrison Sr. (If you've heard some of the same, dark, longtime rumors about his shady, off-the-field "businesses" in Philly, John Rocker, a admitted, notorious racist in the late 90's with the Atlanta Braves, or Pete Rose, huh?
Who cares if Rose cheated on the game during his career or as a manager with the Reds or that it took him 15 years of constant, persistent liars to admit the truth.

[@distemic]

Still loved in Minnesota for his in field contributions

[@BBUYTTV]

@@distemic his on field achievements are worthy…it’s just too bad he was a different t guy behind the scenes

[@yestonymontana2257]

no not really . hes a a criminal felon

[@yestonymontana2257]

no not really. people in Minnesota know he's terrible

[@brianbachmeier34]

​@@yestonymontana2257Agreed. I lived in MN and heard stories about him.

[@ryanboman8211]

Puckett debuted in 1984... not 1982.

[@someguy7424]

He debuted in the majors in 1984, but he was drafted in 1982.

[@Alex.Jensen]

He was not convicted of any crimes. His record is clean.

[@familydinner1]

He wasn’t convicted of anything?
