* Lest we forget: Thurman Munson

June 29, 2009

The collaborator and biographer work at different ends of the life story spectrum. The former writes an as-told-to memoir controlled (but not always read) by the star.

The biographer broadens the story in ways that may upset the star or his family.

Formers Yankees PR director Marty Appel, who worked with the late Yankees catcher on his “autobiography” in the 1970s, comes out with a book all his own, generating this thoughtful piece by Richard Sandomir in today’s New York Times.

Munson passed away 30 years ago, this Aug. 2.
