Damn, just picked up his book "Yankee for Life"

He was a pretty good player back in the day. RIP

How sad. He went back in for test early in the season and then we didn't hear much. Damn.

A lot of nice Murcer talk on YES today. I did not realize he is the only player to play with Mantle & Mattingly. That is quite a link between eras. Murcer will be missed. As Phil Rizzuto would say, "Murcer, you huckleberry!"

Very sad. I really liked listening to him call games in the booth. I think one of the best commentating groups ever was Murcer, Michael Kay, Ken Singleton, and Jim Kaat. Murcer being the good hitter, Kaat being the good pitcher, Singleton being the good all around player, and Michael Kay the kid from the Bronx. They'd all have very different and very complimentary insights into each moment in the game. Kaat would talk about the pitchers thoughts right then and Murcer would chime in with what the hitter was thinking and Singleton with strategies and Kay with the stats. I'll miss that voice in the booth.
