Heart and soul of the 1970s New York Yankees. On August 2, 1979, Thurman was practicing touch-and-go landings at the Akron-Canton Airport with his newly purchased Cessna Citation. The twin-engine jet fell 1000 feet short of the runway during an attempted landing and burst into flames. Munson was killed in the accident while two others were injured. Fantastic glossy 4 x 5 New York Yankees team-issued head-and-shoulders photo of a young (and clean-shaven) Munson in his pinstripes, perfectly signed in black felt tip. Accompanied by similar 4 x 5 photos signed by Ron Klimkowski, Stan Bahnsen and Dan Cater. In very fine condition. You may not want to wait for a nicer one, as this is as good as you will ever find. LOA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
