“He was the first Yankee since Joe DiMaggio to hit .300 or more and have 100 or more RBIs three years in a row. He also won three Gold Gloves at the hardest position. He compiled a lifetime batting average of .292, and as pointed out in the website: VoteThurmanIn.com, that's a better mark than Hall of Fame catchers Yogi Berra, Roy Campanella, Johnny Bench, and Carlton Fisk.”

Whether I believe he belongs or not, I think your passion is a nice tribute!

Also, its pretty cool that it is acknowledged in a news story.

I for one fully support your efforts - I lived in NY in the 70's and I lived and breathed the Yankees in those days - still follow them - but then it was a passion. I remember the year Thurman came up and remember him getting rookie of the year in 1970 - that was a great season for the Yanks after some attrocious seasons between 65 and 69. Anyway - he changed the make up of the ball team, he gave the team a leader and I think Steinbrenner did a great thing by naming him the first captain since Lou Gehrig that was a monumental thing for the Yankees and it stands as a tribute to what Munson meant to the team.

FC57Coins,

It is likely that Thurman will never get into the HOF but the way I look at it is he is already in the Yankee Hall of Fame and that says something alone.

I started rooting for the Yankees in 1968 so I witnessed the lean years...but then came Thurman.

What about Jake Gibbs?..........Doesn't he deserve some consideration as well??
