Hi Eric, I dropped him an email a bit ago and am just awaiting a response. I'll post it as soon as I hear from him. Thanks.

"Hi Chris,

I had taken the Puckett jersey on consignment from a former Twins marketing staffer who states he had received it from Kirby after the TATC game vs. Seattle. The jersey has long since been returned to the consignor, as there was no interest in it from my clientele. The consignor claimed that Kirby participated in batting practice with the team for that game and wore the jersey. As to whether Kirby could have squeezed into the shirt, I have no reason to doubt the veracity of what the consignor conveyed to me. Did Puckett balloon in size at the end of his life? Yes, he certainly did. Due to the unique nature of the shirt and the fact that Puckett was wearing it after his playing career, I placed my trust in its source--as that is all I had. I am offered big-name MLB jerseys on a frequent basis that I refuse out of hand because I don't get a comfortable feeling from the individuals presenting them to me or their stories--and this is before I would even see the items.

All the best,
Jim"

I still can't believe Puck could have fit into a 48 at that stage of his life. I would have bought this awhile back, but I just can't buy the story. From the response, it obviously isn't Jim's story either.
