Rest in peace, Bobby, and God Bless You

"Bobby Murcer, a personable, popular five-time All-Star who went on to a successful broadcasting career with the New York Yankees, died Saturday after a battle with brain cancer. He was 62." [YESNetwork.com: News]

"Michael Kay: I have never in my life met a famous person more down to earth and more real than Bobby Murcer. He was my idol growing up, and he lived up to everything a young man could dream his idol could be. To get a chance to work with him was one of the great joys of my career. I miss him already and I'll miss him always. God got a good man in Bobby today." [Yes Network]
