Former Minnesota Twins star Kirby Puckett remains in critical condition Monday morning in a Phoenix, Arizona, hospital after suffering what is being called a massive stroke. Puckett, who is 44, underwent surgery Sunday to relieve pressure due to bleeding in his brain. Dr. David Anderson, head of Neurology at the University of Minnesota, talked with MPR's Cathy Wurzer to provide some background on strokes.
