Greg Prince from Faith & Fear in Flushing is crushing it. I may just take the day off and keep linking to him. Here’s the opener to a really nice (as always) piece on Murphy.
You gotta love Daniel Murphy. He really doesn’t give you much of a choice.
You wanna get down on Murph sometimes. You wanna scold him, rap him gently on the snout with a rolled-up newspaper, admonish him off the furniture. “Murph! Don’t stand there by first base! That’s where the first baseman stands!” Then you remember you can’t stay mad at him because it’s not his fault he’s Murph, or that it wasn’t until after you adopted him that you realized he didn’t come with a position.
So we let Murph wander around the diamond. We let him think he has a position — or maybe we just try to convince ourselves he does.
