EDMOND — Bobby Murcer’s caring personality will live on in the memories of those who came in contact with the outstanding Major League Baseball player and announcer. His legacy will also live on as part of “The Bobby Murcer Mobile MRI Unit” in New York City.
Murcer, who was a New York Yankees broadcaster after his 17-year major-league playing career, died July 12 at Mercy Hospital. The Oklahoma City native had battled brain cancer for 19 months. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor on Christmas Eve 2006. He underwent surgery at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, where doctors discovered that the tumor was malignant.
Bobby’s wife Kay Murcer is scheduled to participate in The Brain Tumor Foundation’s Mobile MRI Unit Launch Tuesday on the steps of City Hall in Lower Manhattan.
“Bobby was hoping to be a part of it, and knew early detection is vital,” Kay Murcer said. “I'm just thrilled to see his name attached, and hope it’s a big aid for newly diagnosed patients.”
“The Road to Early Detection” is a project of The Brain Tumor Foundation. This project focuses on outreach to communities — particularly for those under-served or who have no mode of transportation — in the five boroughs of New York . The Mobile MRI Unit will be set up in places where people work, study and live in order to make brain scans, and thereby early detection, accessible and cost free.
“A successful campaign in New York City will be used to launch a nationwide effort for affordable scans,” according to information from The Brain Tumor Foundation.
