Let Us Not Forget

If you’re a Yankees fan, and you were born before the year 1972, you might want to take a moment out today at 3:02 pm ET and remember what happened on this date back in 1979.
Our captain and leader has not left us, today, tomorrow, this year, next … Our endeavors will reflect our love and admiration for him.
Thanks for the reminder Steve. I remember where I was. I remember the disbelief. I remember I was crushed.
And I remember within this great tragedy, was Bobby Murcer winning one for Thurman, with 5 RBI and a game winning hit in the 9th. I’ll bet Thurm got a kick out of that.
I was sitting, watching tv when the news came on. Horrible.
I was 12 y/o and just crushed when my dad told me the news.
I just bought myself a new Yankees jersey, with #15 on the back to honor Thurman.
I was quite a few years from birth but I shed a tear or two whenever I watch Thurman Munson’s Yankeeography.
