@tripfunkmonster did you also know that Bobby Murcer was Thurman Munsons gay born again bisexual roommate fromn 1969 to 1979?If they had a Brokeback Mountain baseball team Munson and Murcer would be on the first team.

@tatters777: Gene Michael played shortstop most of the time (though he also played 2nd & 3rd). In 1972 the Yankees got Graig Nettles to play third base. Before that they had a few guys- Celerino Sanchez, a real hard-nosed player who hustled all the time and Jerry Kenney, a guy who played different positions and had some power. Bobby became my favorite in 1969 when he came out of nowhere and started strong.

Bobby Murcer was my boyhood hero and after meeting him, I realized I could not have chose a better man. Bobby, you touched so many lives and I know that you are in heaven where you belong. We all miss you.............

Bobby had a giant heart for the game and his fellow man...God bless you Bobby.

Man, I miss that guy. I grew up watching him play in the 60's and 70's and he was my idol. I still remember Ralph Houk was the Manager, Horace Clark at second, Gene Michaels at third, Danny Cater at first, Munson behind the plate, Roy White in the outfield. The rivalry with Boston was monumental. But I sure missed the M&M boys batting back to back! Holy cow! You can say that again.

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.
You can only hope to be as good a person as Bobby Murcer.
