He was the 1970 AL Rookie of the Year, a 7-time All-Star, a career .292 hitter, a 3-time Gold Glove recipient, and the 1976 AL MVP, in the same season he was the first N.Y.

On August 2, 1979, Munson, who lived nearby, was a piloting practicing take-offs and landings at Canton-Akron Airport, and pilot error caused his Cesna plane to hit a tree and then a tree stump. The plane burst into flames. While Munson's two passengers escaped, he had suffered a paralyzing injury and passed away. The Yankees retired his number 15, and also placed a Thurman Munson monument in Monument Park, in back of center field at Yankee Stadium.
