I played centerfield as a kid. Many years later, Kirby showed me what a serious effort in the game would have aspired to, although the fact is that I never would have had the arm for it. I never in my life saw anyone better out there, and he was a big, big deal in making the 1991 World Series the best I ever saw, and arguably the best of all time.

It's a blessing that he played in my lifetime.

Well done, Kirby.
