In case anyone missed it Posada paid tribute to Thurman Munson in a game a few nights ago.
He painted #15 on his catchers mask.

If you look closely enough in the pic you can see it

That was on Thursday which was the 30th anniversary of Munson's funeral, and the day Murcer drove in all 5 runs of the Yankees comback win over the Orioles.

They showed closeups several times on the television broadcast. Not painted on the mask though. They were actually the number stickers that are used on the top of the brims on the Yankees batting helmets.

Class. Pure Class.

Seems like yesterday that it happened.

RIP always, Thurman.
