An MRI taken last week was clear of any tumor growth. Murcer is fighting brain cancer

    Nothing would be cooler than Murcer coming back to call a couple of games after the All-Star break. Hopefully he’s back to feeling good in a few months.

    Pete, if you see/speak to him, tell him we’re all thinking about him and wish him well.

    Pete:

    Ditto here. From all the bloggies, all the best to Murcer. Is there some special Lohud Yankee Blog thing we can do? I know B.A.T. is near and dear to Murcer’s heart.
