Munson would have slid. Or maybe taken Martinez out.

"Jorge Posada painted No. 15 on his catcher's mask to pay tribute to Thurman Munson and delivered a performance that would have delighted the former New York Yankees captain.

...

Posada had three hits and three RBIs, saluting Munson with the type of all-around game that the former Yankees catcher was known for before he died in a plane crash on Aug. 2, 1979. Posada said he had never put Munson's number on his mask before."

Hate to be the buzzkill after a 13-6 victory, but I'm fixated on the second-inning baserunning blunder.

Posada was either stupid or lazy.

Munson was neither stupid nor lazy.
