Bobby Murcer was my hero as a young boy. Adored him and still do. My mother sewed me a custom Murcer Yankees #2 pinstripe uni to wear when I was 4 years old. (God Bless her!)

The victim of unreal expectations, he still had an awesome career. A .277 hitter with over 250 HRs and over 1,000 RBIs. 5 time All-Star and a heck of a broadcaster and an even better human being.

My mother-in-law recently passed from a brain tumor - the same type that claimed Murcer's life. I never appreciated how awful he had it near the end until I saw a loved one go through it.
