There Are Two MLB Broadcasters I've Known With Lung Cancer

Note-Both Were HEAVY Smokers:

For 6 Seasons in Boston, 2 In Baltimore and 42 Seasons with The Mets, Robert Allen(Bob)Murphy, gave many a Happy Recap, in New England, in Maryland and all over NY-NJ-CT. His call on WHN 1050 in 1986(Game 6 in the 1986 World Series in The 10th Inning), was the Highlight of his Broadcasting Career. Murph was "The Voice Of Summer In NY". Murphy, as it turned out, was a Heavy Smoker. Bob retired after the '03 Season. Bob died from Lung Cancer in August, '04, at 80;

Late in '08, Jerry Remy had Lung Cancer Surgery. He was recovering, when he caught an Infection and has suffered from Pneumonia. He's at Home and in The Battle Of His Life, here in '09. And Remy is ONLY 56 Years Young;

I miss Ol' Murphy. I already miss Remy;

Murphy Never Made it To Citi Field. Remy, at least, got to see Citi Field, during the 2 Game Exhibition Openers;

It's a rough Season;
