en I have a lot of good memories about Kirby. When he used to get a base hit, he'd throw his bat and it'd be flying all over the field. He was a unique player. We need some more players in this age and time coming in the big leagues that play like Kirby.

en Shocked. Shocked more than anything else. We had heard when we were coming off the field that he had the stroke. Which you always just think -- especially with someone as strong as Kirby was -- that he was still going to be OK. So when we got the word yesterday that he had passed, it was a shock. It was a shock.
