Message | Munson is not in HOF cause no one but Munson family can make any money on this. Not MLB, Not NYY. Thurm left virtually no memorabilia legacy that can be found on open mkt--even in NYC--most of his stuff is w friends and family, former Yankees as gifts from his wife & family. Unless fan pressure builds justice for The Captain will not be served.
Steinbrenner's legacy is gonna be: a Hard Rock Cafe' in the Bronx ! A few more finishes in 4th plc and maybe the empty seats will make the Steinbrenner 'uuber kind' bring in a famous singer for StarSpangledBannr or GodBlessAmer. Bring back players with skill and guts, like Munson and Mattingly and Jeter, Tino-O'Neill-Boggs-Broscius, or Chambliss-Lyle-Nettles-RWhite-Sweet Lou. Like BMurcer. Instead of Martini Bars for the Bleacher Creatures, Hal & Hank should prop up Daddy and have him send a request to all HOF Vet Comm voters to VOTE THURMAN IN!!! Like that-- in Big Bold letters with a spreadsheet comparing his personal stats and Team success' vs Fisk (no rings, fewest 1st place finishes of any other 25+ season HOFer), Bench (2 rings, but always compared to Yogi w 10 rings???), Puckett (10yrs, 2 rings). Munson: R.O.Yr '70. , MVP, Many AllStar gmes, Captain and a Catcher--most important EVERYDAY job on the field. Righty hit 3rd w Left Center Field at 435 ft--watch that shot vs KC in 78 ALCS that cleared visting teams bullpen--Yanks come from behind--do or die(-like-AROD).
So vote thurman in & send to all baseball fns u know! |
