The death of Yankee catcher Thurman Munson is the headline of the ''New York Daily News'' from 3 August 1979: ''Air Crash Kills Yanks' Munson''. The catcher, who played for the Yankees from 1969 until his death, was the only Yankee ever to win both the ''Rookie of the Year'' and ''Most Valuable Player'' awards. The 68pp. newspaper features many articles about and photo spreads of Munson, concluding with a back page homage. Overall toning, else near fine.
