Kirby never grew up by any baseball fields and couldn't afford little league baseball. When Kirby was older he went to try out for professional baseball but was rejected. Although Bradly university but was transferred to Triton college. When kirby was playing for the Twins he was diagnosed with glaucoma. He could not play for the Twins anymore since he lost vision of his right eye. After Kirby retired he moved to Phoenix, AZ and thats where he died of a stroke. (R.I.P)
