Kirby Puckett's Former Home - Plymouth, MN

Located at 4235 Minnesota Lane North in Plymouth, Minnesota, this is the former home of Minnesota Twins great, the late Kirby Puckett. As of August 2014, there is still the full-sized blue basketball court with the initials "KP" mid-court still in the backyard, which is visible on Google Earth. As I type this, the home is currently for sale and the owner is asking $850,000 for the property. 90% of the homes in Puckett's former neighborhood are worth half that price.
