Kirby Puckett 1987 Topps All-Star

Gotta love the cards that celebrate the All-Stars!  And Kirby Puckett was definitely one of my favorite All-Stars.

What did he do to earn a spot on the 1987 American League roster?

Let’s take a closer look at his numbers from that season – 207 hits (league leader), .332 batting average, 32 doubles, 28 home runs, 96 runs scored, 99 RBI, and 12 stolen bases.

And to top it all off, Kirby also claimed a Silver Slugger and Gold Glove award in ’87.  His solid campaign led to his third place finish for the league’s MVP Award.

    Wow! What a year… I love a guy who can hit 200 in one season.
    Miss you Kirby!
