I love watching the points being made for Munson. I'm a Long Island strong Yankee fan and when I was watching a Gilligans Island rerun at 4:30pm and the scroll at the bottom of the screen told of Thurman's death, my 10 year old heart felt its first real loss. The guy was a true, loud, demonstrative leader (unlike Jeter). Munson did not just lead by example. He led by leading. But Peter is right, he is not a HOF'er. And neither is Mattingly, and Donnie is closer than Thurman. But that fact does nothing, absolutely nothing, to diminish either of their legacies in my mind. They will always be special. That's all that is important to me.
