R.I.P Bobby Murcer

Today is a sad day for the baseball world as Bobby Murcer has passed away. From only seeing him on TV he seemed like an amazing person who loved baseball and the Yankees very much. Not only was he a great player, he was a great announcer and he will be missed very much. Old Timers Day will never be the same. Thanks for the great memories!

R.I.P Bobby!
