Kirby Puckett - Worn Minor League Jersey & Signed, Inscribed Photo. Puckett's No. 28 Visalia Oaks jersey, size 44, worn in 1983 when he was promoted to the Minnesota Twins' Class A team; he had been drafted by the twins in 1982 and played his first season in the Appalachian League. In 1984 he would join the Twins' major league team. This jersey was gifted by Puckett to a young fan from Visalia, Sarah Hanna, along with an 11¾ x 8 in. color photo of Puckett wearing the jersey at bat. On the back, he wrote, "To Sarah, One of the sweetest girls I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I'll never forget you. Stay Sweet. Love Always, Kirby Puckett Visalia Oaks #28." Puckett added his Chicago address and phone number. These items were loaned to the Hall of Fame for a year by Miss Hanna for the "2001 Inductees" exhibit; a photo of the HOF exhibit and paperwork from the HOF is included. Puckett's 2000 hit, game-worn Twins jersey brought $7,000 in a 20003 auction at Leland's.
