Hundreds remember Yankees broadcaster Bobby Murcer in stirring tribute

OKLAHOMA CITY — His rocking chair sat empty and motionless
with his old New York Yankees jersey draped over it, but the spirit of
beloved broadcaster Bobby Murcer lived on Wednesday with his family,
friends and colleagues.

Hundreds filled an Oklahoma City-area
church for a stirring and often humorous tribute to Murcer, a five-time
all-star outfielder who died from brain cancer on July 12.

He was
remembered in words by his son, an astronaut and a 13-year-old cancer
survivor, and in video messages from Yogi Berra, Reggie Jackson, Rich
(Goose) Gossage and comedians Billy Crystal and Ray Romano.
