Answer for Sept. 28, 1995 We continue our salute to Hall of Fame inductees Kirby Puckett, Dave Winfield and Bill Mazeroski with this sad box score. This was the box score from Kirby Puckett's final game. Dennis Martinez hit Puckett with a pitch in Minnesota's final home game of 1995, smashing his cheek, sending him to the hospital and ending his season. And, as it turned out, his career. Puckett developed glaucoma in his right eye the next spring (doctors maintain the injury and the glaucoma were unrelated) and never played again in a big league game. He's still missed.
