| We introduced you yesterday to our new project: |
| What was the moment, the reason, you fell in love with sports? |
| We want to tell you our stories and, more importantly, we want you to tell us your story so we can share it with the USA TODAY Sports community. We'll share them here in this Sports newsletter, as well as on social media and on our website. You can still scroll down and get all your sports headlines as usual. |
| Today's story comes from USA TODAY Sports' Cesar Brioso: |
| If there was a moment that crystallized how important sports were to me, it was the death of Thurman Munson. I was 14 years old and living in New Jersey on Aug. 2, 1979, the day the Yankees All-Star catcher died in a plane crash. I was devastated . Four days later - hours after attending Munson's funeral in Canton, Ohio - the Yankees returned to Yankee Stadium to play against the Baltimore Orioles. I watched on TV. The Yankees trailed most of that game. But Bobby Murcer, after delivering one of Munson's eulogies earlier in the day, played hero in an amazing 5-4 win for the Yankees. It unleashed the emotions of the crowd at Yankee Stadium and my own sitting at home. ( Read more of Cesar's story here.) |
