Farewell to the Captain ! 30 years removed,,,,


Thurman Lee Munson (June 7, 1947 – August 2, 1979) Yankee Captain,,, from 1969 - 1979 . Munson was killed at age 32 while trying to land his personal airplane. He was a 7 time all star.,,, 2 time World champion, Rookie of the the year in 1970,,, AL MVP in 1976... His Locker remains to this day in the New Yankee Stadium,,, and Number 15 has been retired By the Yankees. A true Warrior,,, as a player, and devoted Family man,,, Thurmon is missed to this day,,, and you only need to hear the applause and see the Standing ovation that His wife Diane when she is introduced at the Stadium to understand what the Fans, though then, and continue to think of him today...

Now that would be a News story...
