I remember Bobby Murcer's playing days. A Murcer memory of mine- after recouperating for 4 weeks in the hospital with a serious bout of salmonella food poisoning saw Murcer hit 2 mammouth homeruns against Texas Rangers at the Stadium one last August evening.(one actually appeared to have cleared the stadium although it didn't)Yankees didn't win pennant that year & I was a Mets fan.Nevertheless it was a very fun experience after spending 4 weeks in a hospital bed. Murcer was class act of Yankees.

Bobby deserves to be in Monument Park with a retired number simply because he was the only player worth watching for years and years from 1969-1975, and one of the few broadcasters worth listening to afterwards.

#8 is for Berra and Bill Dickey both hall of fame catchers. Berra took the number after Dickey retired as a dedication because Dickey taught him everything about catching.

#42 is retired throughout baseball but no doubt even if it wasnt the Yankees would retire it for Rivera eventually.

while i agree that he derserves a plaque in monument park based on his contributions. his player stats were not all the impressive to retire either number

BTW #32 is for Elly Howard

[special420player]

it would not be the first time the yankees have retired the same number twice for two players and it will be done again #42 will be retired twice 1-for mo 2- jackie robinson

and # 8 is retired twice i think elston howard and yogi berra were both number 8

R.I.P. Bobby. He started and ended with the Yanks. But as a life long Cubs fan, those of us in CHI-Town will never forget Murcer for the contributions he made during the short time he was with the team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[johnnyrockhead]

one of the first moves Steinbrenner made was to trade Murcer to the Giants for Bobby Bonds. I really hated George that day.

How much we will miss this man. An outstanding human being and a total class act. His soul is surely in a good place now.

[7Rayo13]

he definently deserves a plaque for his contributions, as for his number, #1 is already retired for Billy Martin, and #2 is being used and eventually retired for Jeter
