Today I received one of the coolest baseballs ever. I was reading an old article and it mentioned how Kirby Puckett was discovered by the Twins. Jim Rantz was THE guy in this so I thought I would see if I could find him and send him a baseball asking to write about his recollection of seeing Puckett for the first time. Mr Rantz, like Kirby himself, did not disappoint! This is one of my top three baseballs in my collection for the content and what Puckett meant to me as a high schooler and beyond. Thank you so much Mr Rantz!
