Thurman Munson's career was tragically cut short by a plane crash in 1979. Prior to his death, he had established himself as a premier catcher for the New York Yankees. Munson made seven All-Star teams, earned an MVP in 1976, and was the AL Rookie of the Year in 1970. To this day, his old locker at Yankee Stadium remains empty as a tribute. Make sure his career and legacy live on with this collectible PhotoMint. It features a fantastic color photo of Munson tagging out Steve Garvey in the World Series. Next to the photo are two 23K gold overlay coins, one a Yankees logo coin, the other a Yankee Stadium coin. It's all double matted in Yankees colors in a black molded wood frame.
