1995 Kirby Puckett Minnesota Twins Game Worn All Star Shoes From Final All Star Game (MEARS LOA)

Kirby Puckett was given an All Star nod 10 times during his 12 year career. Almost each summer, the Puckett family was able to schedule a trip to the Mid Summer Classic.

The Twins favorite had his career cut short when he was hit in the face with a ball. Later Puckett suffered from the effects of glaucoma and lost complete eyesight in one eye.

From the 1995 All Star Game in Arlington are these size "9" cleats. These were worn in Puckett's final All Star appearance.

The tongue of both shoes has a special "All Star Game 1995 Arlington" patch affixed. "9" is branded on the inside referring to Puckett's shoe size. Infield dirt is caked into the bottoms. The Nike tag on the inside reveals the shoes were created in 1994. "34" is written on the heels in black marker. Both shoes show outstanding use. Worn during the All Star Game and events. Obtained directly from Texas Rangers team source.
