As a catcher as a kid, Munson is one of my ALL-TIME favorites [plus Munson is my favorite aunt's maiden name]. He was tough and clutch. He was the only Yank to show up at the '76 WS, and he made quite a showing.


Sorry, Schmidt's the best. And, I HATE the Phillies, too.

Personally, I'd take Nettles over Brooksie for the intangibles alone. Remember he's the one who pointed out the pine-tar on Brett's bat to Billy. And, no "roids" in the WS like Brett ... I was never much of a Boggs fan.

[Nettles bat "exploded" in '74 at Shea - the Yankees home for 74-75 - in the second game of a double header ... he hit a homer in the first game, which the Yankees lost anyway].
