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.
