Part 3/10:
The conversation naturally shifts to the upcoming David Wright Day on July 19th, when his number will be retired and his Hall of Fame induction celebrated. Murphy admits that he will be sharing the booth with Gary Cohen, likely offering a critique of his friend’s career, but assures listeners of the genuine reverence behind the event. He emphasizes that Wright’s day is not just a personal milestone but a tribute to a leader who did so much for everyone around him.
Murphy reflects on Wright’s humility, recalling how he deflected the spotlight and preferred the team’s success over personal acclaim. Despite his modesty, Wright’s influence was profound — both on and off the field.
