Kirby Puckett
It's hard to believe that the 1987 World Series was almost twenty years ago. Many young sportscasters are talking of how they were 7 years old or so then. But young or old, it didn't matter to us and it didn't matter to Kirby Puckett either.
Kirby Puckett lived his life his way, to the last, warts and all. And yet he seemed to be selflessly doing it all for us. It wasn't Machiavelli or Svengali, just love, for us and the game. As Tony Garcia noted, he was never booed.
