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

Why we should be sad he is heaven with the Mick, Thurman Munson, Billy Martin, and the Scooter.

@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.

I'm a huge Jeter fan & a diehard Yankee fan & unfortunately I have never had the privilege to see Bobby Murcer play except for that play where he goes in between the monuments. I can honestly say that Bobby Murcer from all the games that I see him broadcasting, he is truely the GENUINELY the nicest & good hearted person in the world. We'll miss you Bobby say hello to all the Yankee greats for us when u guys all play baseball up there. Jesus is very lucky to have u bobby. R.I.P Bobby Murcer.

If it means anything..the Yankees and Cubs both won today. Bobby was one of the most geniune and respected individuals in the history of baseball. A true class act, and a fine ballplayer. Rest In Peace Bobby
