I haven't heard it, but I'm "affected" by this. I can't say that I'm shocked and honestly, I'm not saddened, but the news does touch me. It was less than a year ago that he retired right? He was a Mets broadcast legend.

RIP Murph. I enjoyed listening to him. It's a shame he didn't get to enjoy more than 9-10 months of retirement after so many years of calling games.

Well Murphy has been retired for a year....I think it would be much more of a weird feeling if he was still doing games and then all the sudden he was gone.

At least the Mets got to have a night for Murphy last year.....that's what's good about it. He got to see how much he meant to the fans and the team.
