- Carramrod72, on 07/13/2008, -0/+9The Munson game:
Murcer gave one of the eulogies at catcher Thurman Munson's funeral on August 6, 1979, in Canton, Ohio in which he quoted the poet and philosopher Angelo Patri: "The life of a soul on earth lasts longer than his departure. He lives on in your life and the life of all others who knew him." Afterward, the team flew home to play the first-place Baltimore Orioles in a game which was broadcast nationally on ABC-TV. Yankee manager Billy Martin wanted to give Murcer the day off, but Murcer insisted on playing—and play he did. Murcer practically won the game single-handedly, bringing the Yankees back from a 4–0 deficit with a 3-run homer in the 7th, then hitting a walk-off 2-run single down the left-field line in the bottom of the 9th, causing Howard Cosell to exclaim what a heroic performance Murcer had put on for the deceased Yankee captain Munson, who had died in a plane crash 4 days earlier. Murcer never used the bat from the game ever again and gave it to Munson's widow, Diana.
Class act. Rest in Peace Bobby. - wrathoftheafe, on 07/13/2008, -0/+8roflcopter

- reland1, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4Thank you, Eric..Bob Murcer was a great BB player...we were fans, too.........
- jspegele, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3Why did you click the link? Don't bury an article just because you're not interested in it or familiar with the subject. Just ignore it, don't enter the comments section, just move the ***** along.
- schwit, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2I'm curious what the readers of this idiot's Tony Snow comment are thinking? "Snow played for the Yankees?"
- MavRevMatt, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2*zing*
- wrathoftheafe, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1it totally makes sense. the yankees are the evil empire of baseball
- TimmyGUNZ, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1Typical.
- cager66, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1dammit, he beat me to it....
- ogre2112, on 07/13/2008, -2/+2rofl.. if you didn't know, it's a referance to the reddit vs. digg post
- negativenancy, on 07/13/2008, -1/+1I woulda digged you up if you had, you know, not ***** copied that post word for word. It makes absolutely no sense, if you had just changed a few words around, it would've been funny.
- wrathoftheafe, on 07/13/2008, -1/+1i thought it worked just fine with the evil regime eulogy. he did play/work for the yankees after all.
- TBBucs, on 07/13/2008, -1/+1Apparently nobody read this story?

- cager66, on 07/13/2008, -1/+0william cooper dies and all people ask is:
WTF is william cooper? - inactive, on 07/13/2008, -1/+0This Cooper? "Cooper's earliest notoriety developed among UFO enthusiasts, as he promoted UFO conspiracy theories, Kennedy assassination theories, and theories about a New World Order conspiracy."
It is no surprise no one knows who that is. - cager66, on 07/13/2008, -2/+0too many of the same type of people on digg, going for the big funny in a very common digg way...
i know i almost tried too. - cager66, on 07/13/2008, -2/+0nice try, someone beat us both to it though.... (sadface)
- cager66, on 07/13/2008, -3/+0i personally like to keep the ***** in one place, so it's easily containable.
- inactive, on 07/13/2008, -3/+0Cancer needs to get fixed???? You really do belong on Digg!
- tyree731, on 07/13/2008, -4/+1I have a fleeting suspicion you have no idea who Bobby Murcer is.
- Cwo655321, on 07/13/2008, -5/+1let that be a lesson to all of you!
- GenghisRon, on 07/13/2008, -5/+1Red Sox fan?
- 9bpm9, on 07/13/2008, -9/+1I think any baseball fan would have known this by now. Like yesterday.
- inactive, on 07/13/2008, -8/+0This is so tragic - he was right on the verge of discovering a new technology that would lead to the replacement of oil as our primary source of energy and our dependence of its foreign sources. /sarcasm
The western world is in decline and people go bury their heads in the sand, refuse to get an education, honor false heroes - like baseball players, and riot when there team wins - or if their team loses. Incredible! - schwit, on 07/13/2008, -11/+2A decent ballplayer, but overrated. Had he not played for the Yankees his notoriety would have been much less.
- TBBucs, on 07/13/2008, -11/+1***** him.
Just because he might have been nice to his family or maybe he enjoyed petting kittens is irrelevant.
He was a willing and eager participant in aiding an evil regime in New York, and that is just the little we know right now. God only knows what we will learn about this team's crimes in the next fifty years, assuming that we will be allowed to know anything remotely resembling the truth.
I am so sick of being subjected to trivial feel-good ***** about evil men just because they die. Screw that. He was scum, as illustrated by his baseball career, and now he is dead. Good riddance and, with any luck, he won't be the last member or former member of this team to leave us in the near future. - MusicianX, on 07/13/2008, -11/+1I don't care if he was a good family man or whatever ***** you use to spin it- he was a representative of the coalition that goes down in infamy for perpetrating one of the most disgusting and inhumane crimes ever in human history (the 1996 AL Championships)
This despicable dirtpile can rot in hell for all i care. - cogitocogito, on 07/13/2008, -18/+7***** him.
Just because he might have been nice to his family or maybe he enjoyed petting kittens is irrelevant.
He was a willing and eager participant in aiding an evil regime engaged in war crimes, and that is just the little we know right now. God only knows what we will learn about this regime's crimes in the next fifty years, assuming that we will be allowed to know anything remotely resembling the truth.
I am so sick of being subjected to trivial feel-good ***** about evil men just because they die. Screw that. He was scum, as illustrated by his aiding this gang of thugs, and now he is dead. Good riddance and, with any luck, he won't be the last member or former member of this regime to leave us in the near future. - cager66, on 07/13/2008, -13/+0I'm glad he's dead...............what? Yankees suck.
- ericdano, on 07/13/2008, -17/+3who? What? Buried
