Great news for Bobby Murcer

Posted by: Peter Abraham - Posted in Misc on Mar 05, 2008 Print This Post Print This Post | Email This Post Email This Post

The biopsy he underwent on Monday revealed only scar tissue and no signs that his cancer had returned.

In a statement released by the Yankees, Murcer said he is checking out of the hospital today and will rest at home for a few weeks.

“I’m focusing my energy on returning to the Stadium for its final Opening Day,” he said. “My family and I thank everyone for their prayers, e-mails, cards and thoughts.”

    That is great news. I was hoping he’d be broadcasting the game Saturday. But the important thing is, it came out clean. Now he just needs to rest up for opening day.

    As a Yankee fanatic since the 70′s, is it wrong that I actually began to tear up with happiness reading this at work?

    Shelly should be be the starting first baseman. He brings an energy that the team has lacked. Go with the youth.
