I do this virtually every year and today I do it again.

Thirty eight years ago today 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 (and the ridiculous circus the Bronx Bombers had become) to three straight World Series appearances and two championships. As long as I live, I will never ever forget hearing 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.
