R.I.P.

I grew up a Yankees fan and got to see Murcer, Munson, Stottlemeyer Sr., et al - back in the days before the Yankers started buying championships and before Steindumber Sr.

Murcer wasn't a Cooperstown-great player, and he always lived in the shadow of Mantle (maybe my favorite player ever), but he was damned entertaining to watch, and from all accounts, a great announcer later on and an all-round good guy.

He will be missed.
