I think that Bob Myrick was a good ball player because he showed me everything I need to know about baseball. As his son I think that he has brought me and my brother into a good baseball player. And the good thing is that he is my dad and he is my baseball player. If anyone wants to get an signature of him send a card to 32 Troon Hattiesburg Mississippi 39401

Myrick's eyes bulged out of his head. Probably would have scared kids had he ever made it.

Oh, the days of Bob Myrick, Nino Espinosa and Bruce Boclair. I remember them well. I think Myrick set up a few saves for SKip Lockwood.

My real memories about Bob were his bug eyes that seemed to be popping out of his skull in both his yearbook picture and baseball card.

I had the wonderful opportunity some years back to have a chance meeting that turned into an all day affair and dinner invite with Bob and his wife, Bob Apodaca and a friend of mine, Rick Stoll. A nicer man I don't believe I've ever met. Wonderful family.

This is another guy ahead of his time! His numbers aren't too bad, and he pitched for some really bad teams! Today he'd be a highly paid specialist! Too bad, he was dependable, we should have held on to him a little longer. Lefties always come along later!

I attended the Mayors Trophy Game at Shea, 6/23/77, and I remember that Myrick pitched - I think he started. I also remember that the crowd was so small that the mezzanine and upper levels were closed - everyone sat in the field and loge levels.

Sadly, Bob passed away on August 23, 2012 after suffering a heart attack. He was just 59.

After leaving baseball, Bob, his brother, and a couple of cousins co-owned a company called "Economy Supply" in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The company made building supplies and had been owned by Bob's grandfather when Bob was growing up. Bob retired earlier this year. He was also a youth baseball coach after his playing days.

He is survived by his wife and four sons, one of whom apparently made the first comment above back in 2001.

Bob may not have had a long and storied career, but he is part of the fabric of Mets history. RIP Bob, and on behalf of all Mets fans our condolences to the Myrick family. Thanks for sharing Bob with us.

On this Labor Day holiday, I was thinking back to the Mets lean days in the late 70s, and Bob came to mind. I just did a Google search on him and was stunned to find out that he passed away just a week and a half ago!! How very sad. Somehow, I recall him wearing #44 in those days.

Oddly, my most lingering memory of him was the way Bob Murphy pronounced his last name. As he always did, Murph emphasized his vowels. Thus, it came out as "mYYrick" :-). I remember too in (I believe it was) the 78/79 yearbook, next to his bio is a black and white picture of him with his dog at Shea, crouched under an umbrella during a shower. The editor of the yearbook pointed out, "Myrick is the one holding the umbrella." That still brings a smile to my face. Indeed, Bob, you were a part of the Mets fabric. Rest in Peace, Buddy, and my sincerest condolences to your family. God Bless.

I attended the Mayors Trophy game at Shea in 1977, which Myrick started for the Mets. A couple of oddities: There were so few people at the game that the mezzanine and upper decks were closed, and Jimmy "The Toy Cannon" Wynn played 3B for the Yankees. He had all of 2 official appearances at the hot corner during his 15-year career, both coming in 1963 with Houston.

As most know my dad passed away Aug 23 this year. Many know him and his stats and I know him as a father and my best friend. Most don't know dad was a devout Christian. He retired March 31, 2012 and was having the time of his life. He was so busy being with family and friends, golf and fishing, and his passion: helping people. Dad started what he called Mercy Mowing. He would wake up each day and go and mow someone's yard who was unable to do it or couldn't afford to pay someone to do it. He was that type of person. On the 23rd he was mowing a lady's yard and had a heart attack. My dad loved life and enjoyed every day he lived. He was such a giver and impacted so many people's lives.
