I’m half asleep (still recovering from the weekend) so I don’t have the brain power to properly explain this fascinating WSJ article.…seems that only two players since 1900 have tried to move from 1B to 2B. One, Jackie Robinson. The other? George Kelly.
Interestingly this has only been attempted by the New York Giants, the Brooklyns and now the Mets.
I continue to predict that y’all will be in love with 28 come May. Maggie knows the deal…she sent this and several other MurphPics over which I will post once I’m not a zombie.

Classifying Murphy as a first baseman though, is silly. He was a 3B coming up, and that’s a lot more common.
