New York Mets: Murphy’s On Sale

It’s not a secret that the New York Mets’ first baseman … uh, the Buffalo Whoever’s second baseman … uh, Daniel Murphy is the only baseball player I’ve ever liked.

He was the first baseman for the Mets last season. Then he got hurt and was playing in the Minors, his second game at second base, when some jerk Nancy Kerrigan’d his knee with a dirty slide and tore Daniel Murphy’s MCL.

Which, I guess, leaves him time to peruse the Internet, find this blog, realize that I’m his biggest fan, and send me an email so we can be penpals.

Maybe?

Anyway, this isn’t a sports blog, so why is Daniel Murphy showing up? Because I went to CitiField on Saturday [[two days after his sidelining injury]] and all the Daniel Murphy stuff was half off. Also, if you bought an inaugural bobblehead, you got a Daniel Murphy one for free. And if you bought a shot glass of any player, yup, you got Murphy for free.

I got a t-shirt that I kinda really always liked but never wanted to spend $26 on. And maybe I’ll wear it when Daniel Murphy takes me on a date to the stadium and we sit in the good seats.
