I was in junior high and recall it vividly as well.
I was sitting in the living room watching TV before dinner with my brother, who was and is a Red Sox fan. A scroll started across the bottom of the screen... "NY Yankees catcher Thurman..." and my brother yelled happily, "Munson's been traded!"
Obviously, a second later as the scroll continued we knew that wasn't the case. It was truly shocking. We had just seen him at Yankee stadium in late July on our first trip to the stadium.
