Message | I'm only 28 years old but after reading the latest book on Thurm's life and death, there is no doubt he should be in the Hall of Fame. Just becuase his career was cut short due to tragedy does not in any way mean he should be excluded from this honor. Thurman was true Americana at its finest...he was a family man, a baseball man, all in all a man's man. He did everything right in his life. Even if he is never officially inducted, he is a Hall of Famer by all means. His tradition of captain is carried on to this day by our current captain Derek Jeter, who, in his own right, is a modern day man's man...a team player, a tough guy, everything Thurman stood for. Thurman will never be forgotten. God bless you and your family Mr. Munson. |
