He was a catcher for Kent State in college back in the mid 60's. I played for another team (I'd mention it here, but I don't want Hillary to know who I am). ;-)
Anyhow, Thurmon was a real chatterbox behind the plate that day. He never shut up. But I had a good day that day with a single, double and triple in four at bats.
But he was catching with a fractured thumb, and later in the game ............. he smoked a line drive over the center field fence. The guy hit the ball about 435 feet with a broken thumb! Yoi!
He and I and a bunch of other guys had a few beers after the game. He was a solid guy!
Thanks for sharing your memories of Munson, sea.
