TAMPA \u2013 This weekend, I came to the NY Yankees Fantasy Camp. \u00a0It\u2019s the one time of the year that I can sit down with Diane Munson, Thurman\u2019s wife, and soul search and talk about days gone by.<\/p>\n

To Thurman Munson, I was always his little brother and Diane was like my sister. \u00a0Whenever Diane was in New York at the end of that particular homestand, I would always drive Thurman and her to Teterboro Airport. Those rides were the most hilarious of times because Thurman and Diane used to poke fun at each other and we would scream with laughter.<\/p>\n

I never saw a Yankee couple more in love. I always wished that I could someday have a marriage like that. \u00a0Diane asked me about this new Yankee catcher named Sanchez. I told her that I had already done a couple of charity events with Gary and for me he represented the spirit of Thurman in a very nice way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I asked Diane if she would like to send a message to Gary Sanchez on \u00a0behalf of the Munson family, and she said she would love to. \u00a0Here is the message that was transcribed by NY Sports Day from Diane Munson: \u201cHi Gary! I can\u2019t wait to meet you in February and I heard nothing but wonderful things about you. I look forward to it. I heard you are a gamer, just like Thurman Munson. It\u2019s going to be my pleasure.\u201d<\/p>\n

I hope that Gary Sanchez understands the magnitude of what Diane is trying to say.<\/p>\n
