Twenty seven years ago yesterday (Aug 2), Yankees Captian Thurman Munson was killed in a plane crash.?

Question

To all of the Yankees fans (or true baseball fans) out there, give me your tribute to The Yankees Captian. 10 points for the best

Answer 1

Speaking as a baseball/Red Sox fan, it was a tragic day for all of sports and we should be thankful that this kind of thing has not happened more often.

Answer 2

I cried watching the tribute on TV. I was 10 years old. I remember the Yankees taking the field with the Catcher's position left vacant and the image of Lou Pinella and Bobby Mercer with their heads bowed just a moment longer than everyone else. I remember the Yankees players giveing a professional "moment of silence" while Yankees fans cheered wildly at the image of Munson on the scoreboard. Most people who do not follow the Yankees might have considered that rude, but for some reason it was just fitting and I think Munson would have like it.

Answer 3

in case you ever took precalculus or another math type which covers properties of applications, you approaches to be certain the area of the function. between the pink flags to look out for is once you divide by using 0. on your expression, whilst x = 3, the denominator is 0. subsequently, the area is each and every variety beside 3. regrettably, the variety you attempt to plug in (x = 3) is the only variety that doesn't artwork in this function. to be certain this prevalent hand, you0 can graph this function on a TI-eighty 3. in case you zoom in near to the graph at x = 3, you will see that there is a clean spot there! that's with the help of the fact, as stated above, there purely isn't a fee of the expression at x = 3. you're able to say, properly it feels like the respond must be 6, finding on the graph. this thought of what the respond "must be" is what limits are all approximately. The values of the function on the left and perfect of x = 3 all flow in direction of 6 as you get closer and nearer. So we are saying the shrink as x is going to 3 is 6. So notwithstanding that's no longer technically the respond, 6 is your maximum suitable decision. 0 is purely no longer superb in any experience. the very maximum suitable answer is to declare that the expression is undefined at x = 3. This concern illustrates why 0/0 is named indeterminate. in this concern, 0/0 in a fashion equals 6. the thought 0/0 can equivalent something is rather the essence of calculus.

Answer 4

Rookie of the year, Yankee captain, 3 World Series', 2 rings, batted .339 in LCS and .373 in WS. Anything else? Oh yeah, they wore that black band on the uniforms for decades for a tribute.

Hey... Nitrousrooster basically copied my answer. Is that a tribute to me, or Thurman :)

Answer 5

Great catcher and rookie of the year, Yankee captain, 3 World Series, 2 rings, batted .339 in LCS and .373 in WS and best of all a yankee forever

Answer 6

I wasn't alive to see him in person, but being raised a Yankees fan, my family speaks of him with the reverence that is usually reserved for a saint. Plus, I absolutely love the highlight of him sliding into Carlton Fisk and then beating the hell out of him.

Answer 7

Two Words

The Man



Terribly Missed by Yankee Fans old and new

Answer 8

Very tragic loss for all of baseball. I was only an infant when it happened but I am very familiar with the incident. I actually work for the Fire Dept. that covers the Akron-Canton airport where the accident occured. Then first time I was at the airport I was shocked to see that they had no memorial for him there. What a shame.

Answer 9

Thurman Munson was a man in the fullest definition of the word.

The guy went out and played 110% whenever he was out there, and he was damned good at what he did, hurting or healthy.

What else do you need to say?

Answer 10

Truely our "Papi" back then....he was one of the best "clutch" hitters ever on the Yankees.....really missed
