First of all it's great to see another Veteran on the board and collecting. Same here with all the tours; 21 yrs and counting. Welcome to the Jungle. The board members here are both knowledgeable and witty. I remember Puckett getting hit and the talk about him loosing teeth. Hopefully someone here will be able to answer the mail or lead you in the right direction. I look forward to seeing your post on the board.

I would think you would need some sort of a DNA test to see if they were really his....My guess is that it's something that someone made themselves to poke fun at the incident...
Would be interested in what other members think too.

Methinks that Kirby made enough money to take care of his teeth better than that! LOL
Let us know what you eventually find out.
STAY HEALTHY!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Their is no way that Dentist Dennis Martinez made it up. I do believe the laws here in Ohio, do not allow doctors to reveil their patients idenity with out concent. The only Dentist Dennis Martinez I see on the internet is loacated in Indiana, Twins VS Cleveland game (Why go to Indiana?)
The only other Dennis Martinez I know of is not a dentist. El Presidente probably never went to college.
Besides the one tooth looks horrible. I doubt it Puckett had a tooth infection, or horrible dental hygene.
This article explains that 2 teeth were loosened by the HBP so it makes sense that they were extracted after that. I do know you couldnt list this on ebay as body parts are a violation of their policy.
You have been busy. I am a AV-8B Harrier guy....with VMA-542 for many years and did a JTAC tour w/ 1/6 in Marjeh. Look forward to chatting w/ you in this forum. Meatloaf
Yeah, what's next? People sell teeth of famous athlete soon after they pass? That would be both sick and crazy at the same time. Sad truth is that there are people who would pay for these items. Mad world... Meatloaf

That is my opinion.

He wasn't a dentist, but he supposedly "extracted" Puckett's teeth with a pitch. Get it?
Second, those teeth need to be tossed out. Kinda turns my stomach to be honest with you to see stuff like that considered a collectible.

I agree, they look pulled and not "hit by pitch" out.

For a minute I thought it was his twin Captain Oblivious
I have a ton of Kirby stuff, but I think I'd pass on on this.
Stay safe!
