Former Yankee great Murcer dies at 62 | Yankees.com: News
With a heavy heart I just learned a little while ago that my first Baseball Idol Yankee great Bobby Murcer passed away at age 62. Bobby played in the darkest era of Yankee baseball and was the bright star in the early 70's. He was traded at the end of the 74 season for Bobby Bonds which broke my heart. He returned to the Yankees during the 79 season the year Yankee Captain Thurman Munson died tragically in a plane crash.
Bobby retired during the 83 season to make room for rookie Don mattingly and had a great career as a Yankee broadcaster.... Today a part of my childhood has died also......I'll miss Bobby Ray Murcer.
