The last player I featured on this thread was Yogi Berra. Today the randomizer pulled up another Yankees catcher. He's another player that I collect that isn't in the Hall of Fame, Thurman Munson. Whether Thurman would have made it had he been alive to play a few more years and compile more stats, we'll never know. The former Yankee captain was a Rookie of the Year, 6-time All-star and three-time Gold Glove Award winner who also won a MVP Award and two World Championships with the Yankees. His career was cut short after just ten years when at the age of 32 he crashed his airplane in Ohio. I have 138 different Beckett recognized cards of Thurman. Here are nine from my collection.
