Product Information

A former Yankees great remembers his years in pinstripes and talks candidly about his courageous battle with brain cancer. As he stepped to the plate at Yankee Stadium on Opening Day in 1966, Bobby Murcer carried with him the hopes and expectations of Yankees fans looking for the next Mickey Mantle. Like Mantle, Murcer was a phenom from Oklahoma. Like Mantle, he came up to the majors as a shortstop, but was later converted to a centerfielder. And like Mantle, his first at-bat in Yankee Stadium was at the tender age of 19. Bobby wasn't the Mick, but he became one of the most beloved Yankees of all time. Yankee for Life is the story of Murcer's stellar career as both a player and as an Emmy Award-winning broadcaster. With self-effacing humor and down-home charm, he shares fascinating, illuminating, and never-before-told anecdotes about former teammates and bosses, including Mantle, Phil Rizzuto, Lou Piniella--and George Steinbrenner. But no relationship was more significant and poignant than his friendship with Yankees captain Thurman Munson, who died in a plane crash in 1979. On the morning of Munson's funeral, Murcer delivered the eulogy for his friend in Ohio; he ended the day by driving in all five runs in an extra-inning 5-4 victory at Yankee Stadium to honor his captain's memory. Following his career, Murcer became a revered figure in the Yankees broadcast booth. From the best seat in the House That Ruth Built, he has watched the latest generation of Yankee superstars--Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, and Mariano Rivera--grow up. No one is more qualified--or brave enough--to choose his own personal Pinstripe All-Star Team of the last 40 years. Murcer is no stranger to courage. On Christmas Eve 2006, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Five days later, after surgery to remove it, he learned that the cancer was terminal. In an uplifting, honest, and even humorous exploration of his battle with illness, Murcer explains how the love of his wife and his family, a deep religious faith, and the passionate support of fans have seen him through his ordeal. Bobby Murcer may not have become the next Mickey Mantle, but he became someone he always wanted to be--a Yankee for life.

  • Yankee For Life My 40 Year Journey In Pinstripes

    This is the story of Bobby Murcer, who was a hero of mine when I was growing in on Long Island in the late 60's and early 70's. It is about his time with the Yankees, his battle with a brain tumor, and his walk with Christ. My Father died on June 3rd, 1991 after and long battle with a grade 4 brain tumor and it was the hardest thing in the world for me to watch. Just knowing that, gave me an insight on to what Mr Murcer and his family have, and are going through. His courage and optimism shine through on almost every page. His wife, Kay, offers her perspective from time to time,throughout the book. They have spent almost their entire life together and they make a great team. The book is filled with anecdotes of his time spent with the Yankees and to a lesser extent, his time with the ...

  • Not the next, the one and only

    The 2008 memoirs of an Oklahoma native who never became the next Mickey Mantle, but instead becomes the one and only Bobby Ray Murcer, a Yankee for life. From his early years in Oklahoma…marrying his high school sweetheart and eventually having two children then five grandchildren…playing Major League Baseball with the Yankees, Giants, and Cubs…his time as a Yankees broadcaster.. battling a malignant brain tumor and becoming a double whammy patient (gene therapy and chemo/radiation)...thoughts on the future of baseball post-2007… all here. This book goes to press before his death in July 2008. Excellent read of an excellent life. Did I mention he was a member of the Church?
