This has been big news in the sports world, especially around baseball. Puckett was one of the stars of the game in the 80s and 90s, and his performance in the 91 World Series (one of the greatest World Series ever) was his biggest moment. Glaucoma ended his career early, and the past couple of years most of the reports on him had been about his failing health and personal problems.
In his prime he was regarded as one of the best players in baseball and one of the best people in the game. He was the leader of a Twins team that won 2 World Championships (87 and 91). He was one of the youngest players ever elected to the Hall of Fame when he was inducted in 2001. It is sad that his life ended so early.
