TTM of the Month

July was a slow month. We only heard back from 5 players; a journeyman, a player with the coolest first name and 3 classic Yankees. Could be the All*Star Break and then the Hall of Fame ceremony that the players we send to haven't responded (yet).


I was very happy with the returns though and of course there is no contest at all who is the winner. Hands down this man is a star, a fighter, gave the eulogy at my hero's funeral and then won the next Yankee game single handedly!

Ladies and Gentlemen, July's TTM Of The Month:
New York Yankees' Outfielder, Bobby Murcer!
