About this listen
On August 2, we observed a tragic anniversary. On that date in 1979, Thurman Munson perished in a small plane crash in Ohio. He was practicing takeoffs and landings in his personal Cessna jet when he missed the runway and died at the scene. His death hit so many people hard. He was a star on the New York Yankees and was instrumental in their World Series victories in 1977 and 1978. In light of that, Shawn and Howie looked back at other tragedies involving players and athletes who died while they were still active in their respective sports. It was not a fun episode nor was it an easy one to record, but in a lot of cases, it is very compelling.
