Time has come today.
For there is a fresh analytical look at Thurman Munson’s career and sturdy postseason numbers to prove he is worthy of the Hall of Fame.
Larry Schnapf, a Manhattan-based environmental lawyer, is leading the charge as co-chair of the Thurman Munson Hall of Fame Committee (www.munsonHOF.com). The group put together an exhaustive breakdown of Munson’s career, which ended much too early at the age of 32, when he died in a crash of a plane he was piloting on Aug. 2, 1979.
The Baseball Writers’ Association of America never voted Munson into the National Baseball Hall of Fame during his time on the ballot.
