Well the Yankees may get lucky this offseason with the looming suspension of Aroid. Depending on how long it is the yank's should be able to use that money and get some real offensive help in the offseason.
Speaking of dead, it was on this date back in 1979 that, at the age of 32, Thurman Munson is killed when the Cessna Citation I/SP jet he is learning to fly clips a tree and crashes 1,000 feet short of the runway at Canton-Akron Airport. The Yankee catcher had been taking lessons for over two years so he could get home more easily on off-days to be with his family in Ohio.
