14. Kirby Puckett (1995)
The late, great Puckett will always be a Minnesota Twins’ legend. He won two World Series titles with the Twins and was a 10-time All-Star. Meanwhile, he entered the Hall of Fame in 2001 after a glittering career. Puckett was a mainstay at center-field until a career-threatening incident in 2005 ended his time in MLB. A fastball pitch broke his jaw and brought his season to an early finish.

Later, Puckett rehabbed the injury and tried to continue his career in the Minor Leagues. However, he continued to have health issues. The veteran star had glaucoma and this affected his play. It was an unfortunate way for his career to end because he genuinely loved baseball. Puckett didn’t care what level he played at but in the end, he wasn’t efficient anymore.
