“[Daniel] Murphy has made it, finally, to games like
the ones he is playing now, after all the empty Octobers in his career. If you
are Murphy, and all you’ve ever done is watch somebody else play these games,
you had to wonder what it would be like on baseball’s bright, loud, great stage.
All athletes, no matter how confident, no matter how strong their faith in
themselves and God, wonder what kind of game they will have when the lights get
turned up.
“Now he finds out. So do we.”—Mike Lupica, on the
extraordinary postseason hitting—homers in six straight games!—of the New York
Mets’ second baseman, in “Mets' Daniel Murphy is Latest October Surprise,” New
York Daily News, Oct. 19, 2015
