MessageThurman should be in the Hall. He was the toughest catcher and greatest leader of the Yanks. Donnie Baseball deserves the Hall too!

MessageThurman Munson was one of the greatest catchers in baseball history. He is very underrated due to his death at the young age of 32. If Munsons career wasn't shortened by tragedy then he'd have stats compared to those of some of the games greatest hitters.

MessageI also remember where I was at the time of Thurman Munson's death. What a great loss to the NY Yankees as well as the citzens of Canton and his family. He deserves to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame

MessageI think it's great that this site has been put together. Although I'm not old enough to have ever had the pleasure of seeing Munson play, both of my parents did. About a month after his tragic death, I was born, and they honored him by giving me the middle name "Thurman", because they admired him for being both a good person and a great leader, on and off the field. It's something I've taken alot of pride in. It's funny that I ran across this site tonight 'cause my father and I were talking about whether or not he was in the baseball HOF. I'll be sure to write to the committee- Mr. Munson definately deserves it and I'll be much happier myself when he's finally and rightfully inducted.

MessageWhere were you at 4:02pm on 8/2/79? I always will remember that day. Playing catch outside I was 13 years old, my parents called me inside, I was like, why, dinner is not for another hour..They saw the special report of the crash and death of my hero. They did not say anything, they wanted me to eat first, we ate, my mother looked sad, I asked why, no one talked during dinner, I knew something was wrong. We ate quickly, they didn't eat much that night. My parents told me to come downstairs, they sat me down and told me about the crash. They turned the news on, I was in shock.

That's where I was at 4:02pm on 8/2/79, he was my hero..baseball was not the same since then for me.

I applaud your website, I agree totally.

MessageThurman is my all-time favorite player and always will be. He gave everything of himself every time he stepped on the field. He played hurt all the time. If the Lord hadn't taken him from us so soon, I'm sure he would have put up the same numbers for many years to come. Remember, even though he was one of the BEST catchers in baseball at the time, he would play games at first base and in the outfield to save his knees some wear and tear. Why? Easy answer, because the Yankees needed his bat in the lineup as much as possible and he'd do whatever was best for the team. #15 lives in my heart forever. In fact, my wallpaper is a Thurman montage!

MessageI am a 46 year old Yankee Fan. I saw the great Munson play at Yankee stadium during bat day in 1971. I also met Thurman, Roy White, Celerino Sanchez, Mel Stottlemyre and Bobby Murcer at White's Dept store in Yorktown Heights, NY. They all signed my Yankee pennant. Unfortunately, my mom threw it out when I got married! I would LOVE to have Thurman's autograph today. Thanksso much for creating this web site. Thurman will always be my NUMBER 1 Yankee!

MessageTerry,

I lived in the Bronx and thought the world of Thurman. He was larger than life for all of us Yankee fans. His leadership, Yankee pride and play exemplified what Yankee Baseball is about.
