Wait what?
The Long Island Ducks today announced the signing of 12-year Major League veteran infielder Daniel Murphy. He begins his first season with the Ducks and 16th in professional baseball.
Murph said: “This game is part of my soul, and my passion for playing grew as great as ever when I discovered certain things that I believe will enable me to be productive on the field again,””I am immensely grateful to Mr. Boulton, Wally Backman and Michael Pfaff for allowing me to live my dream for a second time.”
“Competing before the New York fans is an enormous privilege, and I hope that my effort and performance reflect how honored I am to do so,” “The sincerest thanks from my family and I to the Long Island Ducks for this chance at a new adventure.”
So, I have to assume he wants to get back to the majors? VERY EXCITING!
Regardless, if you’ve never been to a Ducks game, you should.
In a statement, Mets Police founder, and widely accepted as the #1 Daniel Murphy fan, Shannon Shark said:
I am beyond thrilled to learn that Murph is playing professional baseball again. It’s great to have a player like that who appreciates the fans. The Ducks have always been a great organization and a great team to see in person. #imwith28
