Message | Thurman Munson was/is my favorite baseball player of all time. Man, I cried like a baby when Thurman died (I was 15). He was everything you could want in a Yankee captain. He was unselfish, always played through nagging injuries, and he always seemed to come through with the clutch hit or play at the plate. No disrespect to Fisk, also a fine catcher, but Thurman was definitely the better catcher (I should know. I grew up in Boston!). Thurman DEFINITELY deserves to be enshrined in Cooperstown. I hope to be there when it happens. |
