Kirby Puckett, already in Cooperstown, makes another baseball hall of fame

Twins legend Kirby Puckett was a first-ballot baseball Hall of Famer who was enshrined in Cooperstown in 2001.
Puckett can now add a smaller but not insignificant honor to his lifetime of achievements, albeit this one posthumous after his death in 2006.
The California League, a well-regarded Class A league, announced Tuesday that Puckett is part of the five-member class — just the second class honored by the league — to be inducted this year as members of the Cal League Hall of Fame.
