The guy was a true, loud, demonstrative leader (unlike jeter). Munson did not just lead by example. He led by leading. But peter is right, he is not a hof'er. And neither is mattingly, and donnie is closer than thurman. But that fact does nothing, absolutely nothing, to diminish either of their legacies in my mind. They will always be special. That's all that is important to me.
