Bobby will be greatly missed. His outlook on life and all the bumps in the road were handled with a smile no matter the circumstances. Bobby was a touch of class and baseball fans and players will always remember Bobby as one of the greatest “Yankees” ever.

Bobby R. Murcer was everything the Yankees stand for Pride, Passion, Heart,and Tradition.
I went to Bobby Murcer Day, and in the comm. program they gave out ,were pictures and quotes
of his years with the Yanks, my fav. quote from him was ” there’s only one team for me, The
New York Yankees ,I’m blind to anything else.”He meant it…
I also loved to here him call a game from the press box, he did it with true commitment like
the way he played, In his honor I think the should name the broadcast booth (of the new stadium)after him with a special plaque for his year of broadcasting his beloved Yanks.

Bobby Murcer was my favorite Yankee as a kid growing up in NYC in the late 60’s and early 70’s. i remember trying to bat left handed when i was 9 to be like him. I had the team poster in my room and his baseball cards in my wall, i remember his 4 home run day in a double header. as i go a little older i remember sneaking down to the the better seats in the old yankee stadium and getting some photo of my then two favorites Murcer and Munson the new version of the M&M boys. I remember when someone saw off the bottom part of his rocker near the end of the season he sat in and got hurt came close to a division title I know he wanted. I have cried for a few players who have died Thurman Munson, Mickey Mantel and now Bobby Murcer. RIP Bobby

Bobby Murcer was one of my first favorite players as a kid, and one of the all-time good guys in baseball.
