| Message | Best finish ever for hits in a season for a catcher = Thurman Munson, 1975, 3rd place behind Hall of Famers, George Brett and Rod Carew. No catcher has ever led the league in hits, or finished second for that matter. Only 12 catchers have finished in the top 10 for hits in a season in the games history. Thurman also finished in 4th in 1976 and 4th in 1978 . Thurman Munson = standout catcher and standout player!! One of the best hitters in the games long history. Hall of Fame would be much, much better with him in it!! Also, Rod Carew had 6 seasons in the 1970's where he hit .300 or better. Thurman Munson was next with 5 seasons of hitting .300 or better. Munson missed tying Carew when he fell 2 hits shy of a .300 batting average and finished at .297 in 1978 . All of this from a catcher, the toughest most demanding position on the field!! |

| Message | I grew up in the seventies and have always thought Thurman Munson deserves to be in the HOF. After watching his Yankeeography bio and reading several excellent books, including October Men, Ladies and Gentlemen the Bronx is Burning and watching the subsequent mini-series, I have more respect than ever for Thurman Munson. He belongs in the HOF. |

| Message | I saw Thurman play at Kent State when I was an undergrad there, and then was happy to move to NYC and watch his career as a Yankee. Thanks for this web site. I'm sending letters to Cooperstown. Let me know if there are any further developments on addressing this injustice. |

| Message | Starting a Facebook Page, THURMAN MUNSON SHOULD BE IN THE HALL OF FAME....... I've Always been Puzzled about that, because as your Argument States, Munson's lifetime statistics also compare very favorably to Hall of Fame Catcher Roy Campanella whose career was also ended prematurely. Thurman Munson had a Lifetime Batting Average of .292 and Roy Campanella had a Lifetime Batting Average of .276! Munson's Legacy, unfortunately, had a More Tragic Result, He didn't Survive! If He Had Survived, ala Roy Campanella, many Sportswriters may have had "more Compassion" for him! As it was, Thurman was Kept out of the Hall Based on the Sportswriters who he kept "at bay" ala Roger Maris, another Former Yankee kept out because he didn't Accomodate the Writers! |
