77 years old (Born on June 07, 1947)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Thurman Munson! Your mustache alone had more championship swagger than most teams could handle. Whether dominating behind home plate or dazzling fans with clutch hits, your gritty style and unparalleled leadership secured back-to-back World Series titles in '77 and '78.With seven All-Star nods under your belt—and claiming the American League MVP award in 1976—you didn't just define excellence on a baseball diamond: you raised it to new heights (and probably scared opposing pitchers along the way).
Today we celebrate a true Yankees icon whose legacy remains timelessly awesome—here's tipping our caps once again, Captain!
