Let's All Remember Thurman Munson Today
Clear as day I still remember walking home on that hot August day in 1979 and being greeted by my brother with tears in his eyes who told me The Captain had died in a plane crash. That utter shock and despair is still burned into my soul 36 years later. What a terrible, terrible shame.
I was a Mets fan who became partial to Reggie Jackson on the Yanks, but I loved Thurman Munson's grittiness as a player and his leadership of a team that was seemingly always awash in strife. He greatly helped bring the club back again to its former stature as a dominant force. What a clutch player he was!! Rest in peace, Thurm.

Overpaying yesterday is simply underpaying tomorrow. Last edited by JollyElm; 08-02-2015 at 04:53 PM. |
