Kirby Puckett died Monday, a day after the Hall of Fame outfielder had a stroke at his Arizona home. He was 45.
Puckett's birth date was frequently listed as March 14, 1960, but recent research by the Hall of Fame indicated he was born a year earlier. Puckett was aware of the error, but was never very concerned about correcting the dates. But a check of multiple sources indicated he was indeed born in Chicago, in 1960.
Puckett died at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix. He had been in intensive care since having surgery at another hospital following his stroke Sunday morning.
