Kirby Puckett could be getting closer to a decision on whether he'll ever be back to play for the Minnesota Twins, a report published today said.
On Friday, according to the Star Tribune, Puckett will be in Baltimore to undergo invasive surgery on his right eye. Dr. Bert Glaser at the Retinal Institute of Maryland has attempted several times to improve Puckett's blurred vision with laser surgery.This time, Glaser will attempt to directly remove the blood that remains in the eye.
The newspaper reported that Puckett has said to friends: "This is it. We'll know one way or the other - whether I can play - soon after this."
Puckett has been out all season because of the blurred vision in his right eye, which his doctors said was caused by glaucoma.
