Murph was a larger-than-life figure in the 80s and the hero of just about every baseball-playing boy in the South, including me. It is rare to have a sports hero who is also a great role model off the field, but Murph was that and more. He deserves to be enshrined in Cooperstown.
The Hall of Fame Era Committee meets this Sunday, December 7th. Dale Murphy needs 12 of 16 votes. You never know who will see this and their vote may be the one that puts Murph over the top. Please retweet if you love Murph and believe he deserves to be honored in Cooperstown.
@Super70sSports Man, what a beautiful tribute. Your post captures what it was like watching baseball as a kid in the 80s bette than anything I’ve seen.
Major League Baseball’s replay system is badly broken. Delay the Reds-Nate game for 5 minutes and then get the call wrong? And this happens regularly it seems. @mlb please fix this, it’s embarrassing.
Shout out to the @OglethorpeUniv public address announcer for his professionalism, energy and fun at the women’s college basketball games this afternoon! Good PA announcers really add to the experience of high school and college sports.
May the wind that blows from haunted graves
Never bring you misery
May the angels bright watch you tonight
And keep you while you sleep
RIP Shane MacGowan.
Hoping @OHSAASports will accommodate a schedule change so both of these teams can get the support on Friday that they deserve! A big part of the magic of high school sports is classmates cheering on classmates.
If this is it for Joey, what a ride it’s been. The Reds and all of us in Cincinnati are so fortunate to have not only a great player, but also a loyal, classy, thoughtful, interesting (and very funny) person as the face of the franchise for 13+ years. Thank you @JoeyVotto!
