A real ballplayer. Always a dirty uniform, always played hurt, great clutch hitter, superb defensively, played all-out all the time. Never got the credit he deserved for being a smart, savvy baserunner. The Dodgers thought they were going to run all over him in the '78 series because his arm was so badly hurt. Thurman threw out about half of the runners attempting to steal in that series. Hell of a ballplayer.
Thurman Munson was my favorite Yankee from those teams of the 70s I was heart broken when I heard of his death and have always worn his number in whatever sport I play. I grew up in L.A. but my team was, is, and will always be the Yankees.
