MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Kirby Puckett died Monday, a day after the Hall of Fame outfielder had a stroke at his Arizona home. He was 45.

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.

The bubbly, barrel-shaped Puckett carried the Twins to World Series titles in 1987 and 1991 before his career was cut short by glaucoma. His family, friends and former teammates gathered at the hospital Monday.

Puckett was given last rites and died in the afternoon, hospital spokeswoman Kimberly Lodge said.

Ok. Kirby Puckett was a great baseball player, and I have mad respect for him. It sucks that his career was cut short and all. But the guy was a womanizer, was guilty of domestic violence numerous times, held a gun to his wifes head at one point while holding is infant baby in his arms.

Kirby Puckett, great baseball player on the field. Off the field, not really a standup dude. Beating on women just aint right, I don't care who the fuck you are.

RIP
