Just a note letting you know that Marty Appel, a maven of all things Yankees in the Seventies, will be discussing his new book, Munson: The Life and Death of a Yankee Captain at the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center on Sunday, Aug. 2 – the exact 30th anniversary of Munson’s tragic death. Appel’s talk will begin at 3 p.m., and books are available at the Museum for him to sign afterward.
Call (973) 655-2378 for info and reservations. This should be a good one.
my very 1st idol.
[1] That's interesting because mine was Reggie! I'd like to read this though..have to say that Thurman didn't come across so well in "The Bronx is Burning", quite a selfish player in some ways with his Fisk rivlary, etc..on the great 1977 World Series DVD there's an interview with him before Game 3 where he talks about not wanting to come back to NY!! Wonder if he would have made the HOF if not for the accident...
