Congratulations Coach Murphy,
I am one fan (not an alumni but just a fan who knows a little about baseball and appreciates good tactics and strategy that am VERY happy that you are staying with ASU. Keep up the good work.
Will renew my season tickets for 2002.
Best of fortunes,
Tony
Coach Pat Murphy,
Thank you for staying with the Sun Devils.
I was a little too young to remember the Winkles years. But I sure love what he did to put the baseball program on the map.
I cried when Jim Brock died.
But, you have done an absolutely outstanding job, and are in the same mold as those great coaches and men. I love the way your teams play, the spirit, hustle, and joy for the game that you and they display.
You are a great recruiter, teacher and motivator.
Best wishes to you and your family.
Carl
