I want to say that scrambing to sell Kirby's cards is wrong but I don't have any real justification for it. Probably it's not. My initial reaction is that it's pretty creepy, all these thousands of people scrambling to log into their ebay accounts and upload scans of Kirby merchandise as fast as they can. It's unfair of me, I think, but there it is. I will agree it's not a rational response.

Kirby Puckett is one of the all time great baseball names. On that we can all agree! I'm an A's fans, and I hated the Twins, but I always really liked Kirby. His career was a series of jolts, for me, at least. His sudden transformation into a superstar. His 1991 series heroics. His retirement. His legal troubles. And now his death. Everything about the man was unexpected. (Just getting the thread back to Kirby.)
