Today we celebrate the life and career of Bob Murphy, one of the three original Mets broadcasters, who passed away in 2004. He was “the voice of summer” to so many Mets fans.
Dateline: August 3, 2004.
I have one regret about my media career: I never had the chance to meet Bob Murphy, shake his hand and tell him what an influence he has been on me. Murphy, who passed away at age 79 in 2004, taught me about the game, the players and the team I love so much.
He was my summer soundtrack for years.
