Yankees Magazine Podcast, Season 3, Episode 10: Heroes and Legends

The plaque gallery at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, houses so many incredible New York Yankees, and this week, Nathan heads upstate to watch two more Yankees greats — Mariano Rivera and Mike Mussina — take their rightful places. Nate talks with Jon about his weekend on the sport’s Mt. Olympus, offering perspective on this star-heavy induction. Also, Yankees senior museum curator Brian Richards joins Nathan and Jon to chat about Thurman Munson, who died tragically 40 years ago this Aug. 2. The three recount some favorite stories, try to place the beloved captain in his proper context, and discuss Jon’s story on Thurman, his wife Diana, and the dreadful work of keeping a legacy alive.
