3. Oh my god, like Thurman Munson!

That would be wierd.

[Bluzmann57]

4. Can Yankees even own planes?

One would think that after the Thurman Munson tragedy, the Yankee management would write something about "no small plane flying" into every players contract.

[Reverend_Smitty]

[garybeck]

[Ian David]

21. If true, my fellow New Englanders should remove "Yankees Suck" stickers

All of those "Yankees Suck" and "I don't break for Yankees fans" have always bothered me a little.

It's far too un-civil for something that's just a game.

[FastHorizon]

19. It sounds like Cory Lidle OWNS the plane

and he's an amateur pilot

[Ian David]

22. Nancy Grace says Cory Lidle had John Mark-Karr and Natalie Holloway on it

[I_Make_Mistakes]

plane, not which one.
