Comment: >erics - that's a generational thing that's being passed down from one generation to the next, and someone in the family has to stand up, and curse that thing and proclaim life to the living men, and the men to come. Some man who is bold and strong, and knows how to take authority over that thing. Otherwise, it will continue on.

Comment: PLEASE!,PLEASE! My black brothas and sistas, keep your weight down, exercise at least 30 mins, 3 times a week, keep your fat and salt intake down, drink(alcohol) in moderation, stop smoking, keep your blood pressure in check, and pray that you won't stroke out at an early age. RIP Kirby.

Comment: I'm going to put a different spin on this. Kirby had to end his stellar baseball career early due to glaucoma. IMO the poor physical health after his early retirement seemed to be a manifestation of the silent mental battles he was dealing with. There were those people close to him saying they had concerns about his health, yet they also remembered a kind, nice man with the multi million dollar smile. I do wonder if Kirby was able to really deal with the ending of his career. Since I'm not that on point about baseball, let alone the players, I do find it easy for me to ponder on the less obvious.
