Bobby was my idol as a boy in the early '70's. I wrote a poem in his honor. Here it is.......
Bobby and a Boy 07/21/08
It was the other day
I was having a good time
Heard the news….. It was about Bobby
A silent sadness set in and a tear I did shed
Then, he was back up to bat like before
I was back in a long forgotten place
Oh, the happy thoughts of when I was a boy
Inspired I was by his majestic swing
But, I lost a huge part of...

Bobby Murcer was a hero in our family growing up as kids in the 70's watching our favorite team, the Yankees. We never missed a game when aired on TV. He was special and one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Our heart sank deeply when we heard the sad news. We love you Bobby, forever.

I am not a Yankee Fan, but I am a fan of baseball. Bobby Murcer was one of the good guys. Played with heart and always the professional, on and off the field. My thoughts are with his family. You have so many memories of a very nice man.

I pray for the family of Bobby Murcer at this difficult time. I did have the pleasure of watching Bobby play baseball and broadcast it. I heard how sick he was during a recent broadcast, but hung in there till the end. I have nothing but respect for this couragous man. I wish I could have met him. Rest in Peace, Bobby.

I had the good fortune to see you play. Thank you for that of course, but more importantly thank you for showing us how to live. May your family cherish always the person you are and until we all meet again, may God Bless you and your family.

As Yankee fan since the age of 7 (71) now, I have seen some of the greats and Bobby you are without a doubt one of the best and finest. Sure miss you in the broadcast booth. To his family all I can say is "I'm sorry for your loss".
