Requiscant In Pacem, Bobby Murcer

Like Mickey Mantle, he came from OK. At Age 19, he was being compared to "The Mick":

I think that many sports scribes jump to hasty conclusions;

He was one player who has seen the Yankees across the Eras, from Mantle, into Don Mattingly. He's played on those Yankees teams;

He even saw action at Wrigley Field in Chicago with The Cubs and with the S F Giants at Candlestick Park;

Then, he did a long tour in the Yankees Radio and Television Booths;

In December of '06, he was diagnosed with Brain Cancer;

He looked like he'd be making a full recovery;

Yesterday, he passed away;

Kyrie Elaison;

Resquiscant In Pacem;

In Nomini Patris, et Filli, et Spiritus Sancti, Amen;

Murc, your Mellow Delivery will be missed;

Gratias!
