Tribute to Kirby Puckett

It’s very sad to hear that Kirby Puckett has passed away. He was a great player, and will be remembered for many things throughout his career, his most famous being the home run in game 6 of the 1991 World Series. Baseball won’t be the same without Kirby Puckett.
Now, back to spring training. The Astros were able to pull off a win against the Nats, with Jason Lane hitting a home run. Now I haven’t personally been able to connect to the MLB Radio, so I haven’t been able to listen to the broadcasts. Based on reading recaps, however, it seems that Jason Lane has been doing very well. Several scouts have deemed Lane as a possible 40 HR guy, and hoepfully he can take another step this season.

Tomorrow is the WBC, and the USA will be taking on Mexico. I’m really excited to see the USA team in action. I’ll be sure to post more now that Spring Training is underway.
