Bobby Murcer has tumor

Early this morning I learned that Yankee broadcaster, and former Outfielder Bobby Mercer has a brain tumor and will be going under the knife. I met Mercer before an A's Yankee game a few years ago. He was very cordial and I enjoyed speaking with him. Even though I reminded him about ruining a 1980 game when he hit a pinch hit home run in the 9th inning off of Matt Keough to beat us 2-1 on the NBC game of the week. He remembered the blast, and thanked me. Even though he is with the hated Yankees, I am pulling for him to beat this thing, as I am sure the rest of AN will. Good luck Bobby.

Mercy on Murcer
He's my favorite YES broadcaster; I can say that much.  Hope he makes it through painlessly.
