I was trying to think of another guy who did this and really can't. Once these guys get this far in life they can't picture it. Maybe Ripken when he finally asked for a day off. The manager was never going to do it so he took him off the hook.
This game is good example of the Murphy feel for the game thing. He just seems to lack that something in game decisions. He's not good enough imo. I know it's an opinion but I stand by it.
