NEW YORK, Jan. 11 (UPI) -- Popular New York Yankees announcer and former outfielder Bobby Murcer is putting on a brave face after getting bad news about a brain tumor.
Murcer, 60, underwent surgery Dec. 28 after suffering headaches and being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. He faces six weeks of chemotherapy and radiation treatments at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston.
"Hopefully, I can be a positive example for others," Murcer told the New York Daily News.
Doctors in Texas are considering an experimental treatment for his brain cancer.
Murcer, a five-time All-Star, has been with the Yankees for decades as a player and announcer. He hit a career .277 with 252 home runs and 1,043 RBI for the Yankees, San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs.
