I am sure everyone has heard that Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett of the Minnesota Twins has passed away. Kirby was one of my childhood heros growing up. I used to listen to all the Minnesota Twins games on WCCO radio when I was a kid. I can remember listning everytime he came to bat and you just knew he was gonna smack one to win the game.
He once told at an autograph signing that to "go for your dreams and never give up" I did just that! and I am not doing to bad in my life right now. Sorry! for it being an OFF TOPIC and nothing to do with Star wars or any movie but when you step back and look at it all from my piont of view it was one heck of a childhood ride I will nver forget.
If there is anyone else out there that saw him play then they will know for sure what I am talking about. I once made a video where I was pretending to be him and my friend was the Twins announcer Bob Casey saying KIrbeeee Pucket!!

Just thought I would share this with all my friends at Originaltrilogy.com. It makes you step back and realize how important life is and how important capturing the past and to never forget things are. That being said, let's keep up all the restoring and preservation of the art that we love becasue if we don't it will be gone.

Thanks for your time and say a prayer if your a believer.
