"KIRBY FOR SOME REASON JUST CAUGHT MY EYE. WHEN I JUST STARTED TO GAIN INTEREST IN THE GAME OF BASEBALL. I SEND MY CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY, HIS TEAM PLAYERS AND ANYONE ELSE THAT LOVED HOW HE PLAYED. MAY HE REST IN PEACE!!!"

"I am 27 years old and all I knew growing up was I wanted to be just like Kirby. I feel I was very privileged to have lived where he played and I still love to collect his cards and sports items. My only regret is that I was never lucky enough to meet him. Felt like I knew him though, because being there with him at all those games will be something I will always remember."
