Speaking of the anniversary of Thurman Munson's death (see post below), during Sunday's pregame show YES will present a six-minute segment recalling him.
It includes interviews with his widow, Diana, and emotional sitdowns with all three of his children - Tracy, Kelly and Mike - at "Munson's Home Plate," one of two restaurants the family owns and operates in Canton, Ohio.
Among the most interesting insights is that his daughters appreciate the way their father is spoken of and remembered in New York even more so than in his hometown.
Mike talks about the difficulty of growing up in the shadow of his father's legacy in Canton, and remembers an emotional moment at Thurman's locker in the old Yankee Stadium last September.
