	Kirby Puckett BaseballLibrary.com
		Puckett was Baseball America's Appalachian League Player of the Year in 1982, California League Rookie of the Year in 1983, and Minnesota's Rookie of the Year in 1984, becoming the ninth player in major league history to debut with four hits in a nine-inning game and leading AL outfielders with 16 assists.
		Puckett's star burned brightest during Game Six of the 1991 World Series, which pitted the Twins against the Atlanta Braves in an unlikely matchup of teams that finished last in their division the season before.
		Puckett would certainly have amassed more impressive career totals than his 2,304 safeties or 207 round-trippers (he batted.314 with 23 home runs in his final season) had he not awoken one day during spring training in 1996 with blurred vision that left him unable to continue playing the game he loved.

	Giants agree mph not the best way to measure fastball
		To prove that point to a hard-headed youngster named Dave Righetti in 1982, New York Yankees pitching coach Stan Williams made the left-hander face the Minnesota Twins using nothing but fastballs.

		Depending on the grip, the movement, the location, the arm speed and the finger pressure, there are as many variations to a heater as there are stitches on a baseball.
