It happened 6 miles due north of where I'm making this post. Definitely a local legend.

WGAF.....

RIP Squatty Body - You are missed :(

today is the day jeff the drunk drank a beer and high pitch still owes people money who cares

He was succeeded by his only son, Roy.

Sorry that he passed away and all, but in no way is he a Hall of Famer...........Keep living the dream you Yankee fans!!

The best example of WFingGAS Ive seen here yet.

Even though I am a die hard Red Sox fan, I always admired Thurmon Munson. RIP, Thurmon.

I cried harder when he died than any other person except for my father.

I woke up today and it was the first thing I thought about...

Agreed that for most, this is a WGAS issue, but for those of us who loved the guy, its a sad day...

RIP......... I remember that like it was yesterday................

RIP he was a cool guy

Let me echo what Iced Coffee said. I'm a Sox fan and I was even at the '78 extension game. I always respected the way Munson played. It was a terrible tragedy.................. I still hate Reggie, though!

Thurman Munson is the Kurt Cobain of baseball......glorified simply because he died. Had he lived he would have gone on to be agonizingly average.

Yankee fan for life, and we ALL hate Reggie...

Reggie was the 1st steroid monkey in baseball. Started late in his career with the Angels, it was pretty obvious looking at him...

-and 27 minutes ago, I shit my pants. So.............

Just saw this at a Cape League Baseball game a few weeks ago...Chatham A's

Dude, you need to hold you breath in a little longer before you release it... Kurt Cobain average?? Thurman Munson average?? Ok, while he maybe might not have been a HOFer, he was beyond average and Kurt Cobain was far from average.. you are on crack.. Thurman Munson was the captain, average players dont achieve this status you dumbass... Get ready for the bandwagons next stop, I believe you will be getting off when the Sox fall to 3rd...

I'm surprised all you bandwagon Yankee fans know who Thurman Munson is!!!!! :funny:

I never mentioned the SOX or the Yankees. I was talking about a mediocre ball player and a mediocre musician who have been elevated to some god-level simply because they died before realizing the greatness expected of them by some.

Just because you might have been great doesn't make you great. It makes you someone who died young.

Also, spare me the rant on Cobain....Whaaaaaaaaaaa I am rich and my stomach hurts so I will kill myself....whaaaaaaaaa.

He's just so obsessed/scared of the Red Sox that he assumes everyone that doesn't lick Jeter's balls is a Red Sox fan. Typical Yankee fan dipshit.

Just a quick question, did your mom have any kids that survived???

Go Sox!

You're an asshole. Fuck You!

Hall of fame for what? Making the allstar team? Big deal, any popular retard can make it year after year.

And you're an asshole. Fuck you too!

Go have a beer with Artie, no one else cares. MOVE to WGAS

Fuck you too asshole!

The best example of WFingGAS Ive seen here yet.

You can suck every Yankee fan's ass fuckbrain.

And you most of all so far should go fuck yourself. You're the Kurt Cobain of SFN. Blow out what little brains you might have. Dick.

I'm surprised all you bandwagon Yankee fans know who Thurman Munson is!!!!! :funny:

Another Fuck you to you. Bandwagon fans?? Ain't you talking about the Sawx? I've been a Yankee fan for more years than you've been alive dickhead. I'm 52 and remember watcjing the 1960 World Series when Mazeroski hit the home run to beat us. Bandwagon my dick fuckface.

I was 10 years old - I remember standing in the kitchen as my mom was making dinner when it came on the news and just crying my eyes out...sad day in Yankee history.
