“You are, by far, the most Forever Giant person there is.”
SAN FRANCISCO — There’s no better indication of Mike Murphy’s impact on the Giants organization than the guest list for his Wall of Fame induction.
Will Clark, a fellow Wall of Famer, recalled his favorite Murphy quote in his ceremony speech: “I’ll be here when you get here, and I’ll be here when you’re gone.” Murphy was in the heart of the ballpark for every one of the Giants’ lows and highs. During his six-plus decades with the Giants, Murphy moved from bat boy to visiting clubhouse manager to home clubhouse manager in two different ballparks and saw three World Series, six pennants and worked with every superstar from Willie Mays and Willie McCovey to Barry Bonds, Tim Lincecum and Buster Posey.
“Murph was my first babysitter,” Bonds said, adding he first met Murphy when he was four years old and Murphy in his mid-20s during his father Bobby Bonds’ years in San Francisco. He recalls Murphy telling the mothers to go relax while he watched the players’ kids during games.“That’s not something Barry, Buster or Will can relate to,” Vogelsong said.
