Let's All Remember Thurman Munson Today...
thurman-munson-449x540.jpg
Thirty seven years ago we New Yorkers, we baseball fans, we human beings lost the Captain way too soon. Sure, it was said #15 was a curmudgeon and a bit of a grouch to people around him, but he was also a freakin' skilled and tough as nails leader who led the Yanks to three straight World Series appearances and two championships. As long as I live, I will never ever forget getting the heartbreaking news on that hot August day. His loss still saddens me to my very core. I'm sure many others share these same feelings. Continue to rest in peace, Thurm.

Was a Met fan, so Thurman meant little to me as a player, but I can still remember the devastating feeling " . . . a baseball player can die all of a sudden? Like that?" Major dose of reality to a 15 year old kid.

The Captain
My favorite player as a kid. Remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when heard the news on the radio. Still makes me sad.

I'm thankful I got to see him play at the stadium many times before he passed. And I will always cherish my foul ball I caught at the 78 world series...that thurman handled. RIP #15. |
