  Growing up in NJ, my dad would give us quarters and we would bet each inning on how many runs would be scored, and any other stat we could think up. Every time I placed a quarter on the rug in front of the ancient Zenith, I told myself it was for Bobby Murcer. Such a schoolgirl crush.

  Thanks for the memories, Bobby.

I'm going to see some very familiar names over the next ten years. My sympathies to the Murcer family. Post a comment ( Help ) To comment, please log in . Not a member? Register !
