Bobby Murcer, July 12, age 62: The longtime baseball player
and much-loved Yankees broadcaster died of brain cancer that was diagnosed
a year ago. He was able to make appearances to promote his book, "Yankee for
Life," in the spring, but suffered a relapse and died in July. Bud
... moreSelig, the
baseball commissioner, said in a statement, "All of Major League Baseball is
saddened today by the passing of Bobby Murcer, particularly on the eve of this
historic All-Star game at Yankee Stadium, a place he called home for so many
years. Bobby was a gentleman, a great ambassador for baseball, and a true leader
both on and off the field." And that's the ballgame.
