Revs pitching coach Tippy Martinez missed Monday's game and will not be in York Tuesday because he is filming an interview with former major league catcher Tim McCarver.
Martinez is being interviewed for a segment on former Yankees catcher Thurman Munson (pictured above with Somerset Patriots skipper Sparky Lyle).
Martinez and Munson played together in New York for parts of three seasons (1974-76) before he joined the Orioles in a trade. Munson played with the Yankees from 1969-79. He died Aug. 2, 1979 when the plane he piloted crashed about 1,000 feet short of the runway at Akron-Canton Airport.
