That's a shame.

Murcer came into the big leagues in kind of a tough situation - as a switch-hitting SS-turned-CFer from Oklahoma who naturally, and unfairly, got touted as "the next Mantle".

Along with Roy White, first Yankee I ever knew. I thought he was a pretty good broadcaster and always came off a super guy, too bad.

And, for youse kids too young to know, the hero of the game the night of Thurman Munson's funeral. Strange that channel 4 left that out.

I have a short list of Yanks I liked, he was one of them. RIP, Murcer.

I never had anything against Murcer. He was at the tail end of his career when I started seriously getting into baseball, and I remember he had lots of lines of stats on the back of his baseball card because he had been around for so long:

My glove, the only glove I've had since Juy 3, 1972, is a Bobby Murcer model. It wasn't until Lunchbucket threw me the old pepper one day that one of its laces was ruptured.

There was a woman at the Trenton Thunder game tonight wearing a Munson shirt. I'm sure it was in memory of Murcer.

I saw someone wearing a Bobby Murcer shirt this morning. I wonder if he was honoring Thurman Munson? Bob: Rye Crumb!
